Don’t expect Melky Cabrera to keep up this level of work all season, but there will be a team that overpays him as a free agent based on it. And it’s a mistake. 

It doesn’t diminish Jamie Moyer’s accomplishments to tell him in a ruthless manner that enough’s enough and he needs to hang it up. 

Curt Schilling sounds like he wants a bailout which is pretty much diametrically opposed to the principles he supposedly espouses. 

Roy Oswalt (thankfully) signed. Roy Halladay and Jered Weaver are on the disabled list. And the Yankees claim Ryota Igarashi. 

The White Sox have to determine what they are at the trading deadline before doing something stupid or crazy. 

Chris Capuano has been brilliant; Jerry Hariston Jr. went 5 for 5 yesterday; Matt Treanor hit a home run; and AJ Ellis is a 31-year-old minor league veteran who’s heading for the All Star game. 

The Dodgers are lucky. So what?

A pain in the back of the shoulder sounds pretty bad to me and if Roy Halladay is out for an extended period, the Phillies can forget about 2012. If that’s the case, then they’ll have to start thinking about dealing Cole Hamels at some point. 

The Twins might be willing to trade Justin Morneau? No kidding!!!

They’re not trading Josh Willingham; they’re not trading Denard Span. But Carl Pavano, Francisco Liriano and Matt Capps are gone. 

Spending huge money on a closer is always a risk and it’s failed before. But some disasters are bigger than others and could’ve been predicted. 

The town of Central Falls in Rhode Island is gutting the city worker’s pension fund benefits, but the state had $75 million to guarantee loans for Curt Schilling’s video game company to move there? 

Also Luke Scott and Chad Curtis find their politics biting them.
