I hope Michael Brantley is able to play this year. If he's nearly as good as 2014-15 then the Indians lineup looks to be exceptional.

I realized I never looked at this year's schedule and who the Angels play (like vs NL). The Angels have four Mike Trout bobblehead giveaways this year. 3 different regular ones, and a double headed MVP. And.... Nolan Ryan

They were going to make Pujols ones but the legs kept breaking off before they could even get them to the stadium.

Yan Gomes just declared himself as being in the BSOHL. Is that allowed?

Boog Powell? This dude has to be in the Cardinals org.

Boog is in the Mariners minors system. I got him to sign a ball at the Fanfest last year because who would turn down a ball that says "Boog", but I got rid of it after he got busted for PEDs and I didn't think he would ever play a single game in the majors.

Here's a piece about why Trout isn't a megastar. It's very good, and even touches on why scouts didn't really go see him much in high school.

I like how this article confirms that Mike Trout is basically the super friendly dork that his endorsement quotes and pictures on the Super Pretzel box made me assume he was.

Fernando Rodney is awful and I don't know how he keeps getting work

The day the Mariners finally dumped Rodney was great. I don't think I would dislike him so much if he was just bad, but he's so impossibly erratic. Will it be a 1,2,3 inning or will he give up 4 runs after walking three people, hitting two and 3-4 wild pitches?
