I'm not complaining about Mookie, but there's not quite as much torque there.

I just noticed that Steamer has Tanaka, Sabathia, and Pineda combining for a total of 591 innings. I'm rather skeptical.

Why the scepticism? Is it because Tanaka only pitched 136 innings last year, because Pineda pitched 76 ML innings in the last three, or because Sabbathia only averaged 149 over that same period? The last one comes with an asterisk, since last year's 46 really brought his average down.
Still, there does seem to be some serious digital wish-casting going on.

Erik Boland ?@eboland11 YES gun a tad fast. Scouts in seats all had Tanaka's FB at 88-91. Still, "he looked fine," said one. "Still has excellent command of split."
Marly~ESPN Deportes ?@marlyriveraespn AL scout said that #Tanaka looked very good: 89-91 mph fast ball; 86 mph slider; 74-75 mph curve ball; 82-86 mph splitter #Yankees . . .

And it appears that Tim Federowicz has damaged his knee and will be out 3-6 months.
If I'm a player in the upper minors anywhere I'm gearing up my game. Never know when someone blocking me is going to go down.

Wheeler was like the worst inverted-W offender in baseball. This was going to happen at some point.

Boras interjecting himself directly into front office decisions. He's must believe that's part of his role, I guess. Seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

In response, club president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said that the decision whether to include Bryant on the active roster to start the year was his alone, upon consultation with his front office team. “Comments from agents, media members, and anybody outside our organization will be ignored,” he said.
Shades of George Bush right there. "I am the decider." Right on Theo! Right on. In typically cool fashion, he essentially told the fat melon head to "have another donut."
