—David Wright says he was hurting last year, but that wasn’t why he hit only a few more homeruns than Willy Taveras. I think Mets fans would rather hear that WAS the reason for the power outage, frankly.

—Barry Zito wants to be thought of as a #1 starter again. Which begs the question as to when he was ever thought of that way. Was he ever ahead of Hudson and Mulder? At any rate, he wants to return to those make believe days. Or something. Four years left on that $126 million dollar monstrosity of a contract.

—The Rangers want Julio Borbon to claim CF. Note to self, look up Julio Borbon ahead of fantasy drafts. Ah, there he is. .312/.376/.414 for a .790 OPS and 19 stolen bases in 157 at-bats? Oh. Not half bad. I miss stuff like this at the end of baseball seasons on a regular basis.

—Josh Hamilton nursing an injury? Shocking.

—The Dodgers are ready to take some more of the training wheels off of Clayton Kershaw and let him work later into games. Adjust your pitcher lists accordingly.
