Cubs are pretty good.
Tough start to the season for Gattis, but I think getting a second chance at catcher could be the best thing for him. Could extend his career 2-3 years if he can stick as a backup C.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Angels get more bad news, Simmons may be out a while after injuring his thumb on a diving stop last night. MLBTR reports:
"Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons will undergo left thumb surgery, the club announced (h/t MLB.com’s Alden Gonzalez; Twitter links). Simmons has suffered a “full thickness tear of the ulnar collateral ligament” in the thumb.
While an estimate of Simmons’ absence has yet to be reported, there’s little doubt that he’ll miss a significant period of time. For a Halos club that’s been hit hard by injuries and is already five games under .500, it’s a major blow.
Notably, fellow middle infielder Jed Lowrie required what appears to be the very same procedure last year. His surgery took place in late April, and he did not return until the very end of July."

Strasburg signed a 7 year, 175 million extension with Washington.
Wow. I guess Borass is learning not to pass up on 150+ million.

It figures that for the first time in a long time the Braves will have significant money to spend and the FA class is absolute crap.

Why would my dude stay in Washington? They won't be that good in the next couple of years. Stupid move on both sides.
I will admit . . . I was skeptical of the FO's plan to accumulate a ton of pitching, but it may turn out that we timed the market well. We've already pulled off a miracle with Miller, and Teheran could command a premium if he keeps up his current pace. Would prefer to keep Teheran, but the market will be so starved for quality pitching that we need to keep those phone lines open.
