The Tigers are keeping Brad Ausmus because he is going to grow into the position or something.

Isn't three concussions in one season really bad? A neurologist told Alex Avila he's okay to play baseball which sounds really sketchy.

Hello, Detroit! Do you want to get rid of that Peter Bourjos? Tigers really have absolutely nothing in center.

Who's the all time slowest pitcher to the mound? I remember watching a game where Steve Trachsel pitched for the Mets and his own fans were booing him for taking so long and repeatedly throwing to first.

With a runner on it's Max Scherzer. He sits for about 45 seconds until people call timeout just to disrupt the timing.

Mike Pelfry is just as bad and even more painful to watch because he's terrible and allows more runners.

I seem to recall one of the early Diamondbacks starters, I want to say Omar Daal? being really loving bad like this, too.

Cowboy Joe West also once got super pissed at Raul Mondesi taking too long in the on-deck circle and ordered David Weathers to start pitching. He called strike one before Mondesi even got to the box. There's video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwAze__nq2k

It baffles me how many managers can't figure out what a Loogy is for.

Phil Coke throwing batting practice to righties always made me happy.

Braves won't name a GM, instead giving Hart the title of "president of baseball operations" and sharing duties with Coppolella in a kind of mentorship deal.

Is it me or is this becoming more common, where teams have weird new titles and guys overseeing GMs? No one even knew who was in charge of the Diamondbacks after LaRussa stepped in with his dubious title.

Justin Smoak will not achieve greatness until he is acquired by the Athletics. He will magically mash 30 dingers in a hilarious platoon with [insert any 4th string catcher/1B on your team].

I've heard that the Rays will bring tampering charges against the Cubs if Maddon is hired there. Any truth to those rumors? And if the Cubs are guilty of tampering, what would the penalty be?

The Cubs will have to give up one of their seven shortstop prospects.

The thought is that Bonds joins the organization, possibly the coaching staff once his legal case is settled. It is likely his criminal charge will be overturned sometime in 2015.
