I'm calling the D-Rays and asking about Jorge Cantu's availability. The glaring weak spot in the Rockies' lineup is Kaz Matsui at second base. Put Cantu's fly-ball power stroke in Coors, and he'll rebound nicely from last season's struggles. 

Last season, Rockies shortstops combined to hit .225 AVG/.274 OBP/.326 SLG, which is, of course, awful production. Rockies catchers, meanwhile, weren't much better: they combined to hit .223 AVG/.294 OBP/.356 SLG. That's why Tulowitzki, the shortstop, and Ianetta, the catcher, will help the team get better. They'll both comfortably improve upon what Colorado got from their respective positions last season.

What to watch now ... Arizona vs. Colorado in a showcase of exceptional young talent (Stephen Drew, Chris Young and Conor Jackson for the Snakes, and Troy Tulowitzki and Chris Ianetta for the Rox). As well, Curt Schilling and the Sox are taking on Alex Gordon and the Royals. 

As mentioned below, the D-backs are my pick to represent the NL in the World Series.  

B.J. Ryan doesn't blow two-run leads very often, and he didn't today. If trends hold, the Tigers will go 0-162 this year. 

I've long advocated automating the calling of balls and strikes. There's just too much inconsistency. The latest example can be found in the Tigers-Jays contest. Detroit pitchers haven't been enjoying the liberal strike zone that Roy Halladay benefited from earlier in the game. Keep the home plate umpire around to make safe-out calls and add his own flair to the ball-strike calls, but let imaging technology make the calls themselves.
