Guess I’ll place this here. Johnson goes back to the O’s:
Orioles accepted Rule 5 selection RHP Steve Johnson back from the Giants.
Johnson, who was the 19th pick of December’s Rule 5 draft, allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings of work with the Giants this spring. The 22-year-old right-hander was acquired by the Orioles from the Dodgers in the George Sherrill trade last July. He finished 12-7 with a 3.41 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 27 games (25 starts) between both organizations last season. Though he won’t make the Giants, Orioles fans will happily welcome the Maryland-boy home.

I’d add a healthy Henry Sosa as somebody who could potentially be in a position to help the team this year. Henry showing up for ST with a live arm is one of the best things we’ve seen this spring from a prospect standpoint IMO.

Sosa showing up for Spring has never been a problem.
It’s showing up at all for June or July that has.

Well actually last year was the first time in his career he’d missed any time in June or July, and 2008 he missed all of ST and the first month and a half of the season. But more to the point coming off the surgery I really did expect him to show up with more of a Brandon Webb “I just don’t feel right” type of experience. The fact that he’s opening eyes with his stuff is a very good thing, whether they think he’s got the stamina to still try to start or whether they move him to the bullpen, it’s a good thing to have his arm back.

Also, you seemed pretty accepting of the viewpoint that Posey needs more seasoning to be a receiver of pitches. This seems contrary to past Grant from McCovey Chronicles opinion.

My family owns a sea food place in Virginia, and during family gatherings the particular uncle will come with a hundred or so crabs and the accompanying cooking materials. A rite of initiation is yanking the crabs out of the boxes and throwing them into what I can only describe as an enormous steel cylinder with a Bunsen burner at its base. Stuff that thing full of crabs and boil those bastards. The more margaritas consumed during this process the better. If there are no injuries, the event is considered a failure.

From Schulman’s article on sfgate:
The Indians picked a great day for an on-field ceremony to honor their Double-A Akron, Ohio, team for winning the 2009 Eastern League title. Among the honorees was pitcher Scott Barnes, whom the Giants sent to Cleveland for Ryan Garko. Barnes helped pitch Akron over the Giants’ Connecticut team in the finals.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I’m trying real hard to only buy albums, but I really like sigur ros. I’ll have to check out the Antlers’ first two albums though. I’m really just waiting for the Band of Horses’ new album; their first two albums are my favorite albums to listen to

I’ll keep an eye out for it. 2010 is looking to be a great year in music, with the Fleet Foxes supposedly coming out with a new album, along with Band of Horses and a few other bands like Panda Bear. I was a bit disappointed by Yeasayer’s new cd but I’m still digging the song Ambling Alp

I was shocked too, but it’s very good. You can just take it one disc at a time – she’s changed her singing style a bit, so if the warbling on Ys was annoying, it’s mostly gone.

I really loved Ys, so I can’t really tell you what you’d think of Have One On Me if you didn’t like Ys!
But so far, it’s my favorite album of the year.

I love that Besnard Lakes album. I just listened to The Morning Benders new album yesterday night (yes, I’ll admit, because it got Best New Music from P4k and it sounded interesting) and I really enjoyed it as well.

Yeah, I really like it, too. There’s nothing quite so jaw-dropping as “Devastation” from the last album, but I really like “Albatross” and part two of the opening two-parter. I can’t remember the whole name right now ‘cause it’s long.

Honeycomb! They’ve only been together since last year, but they were the opening act at a NoisePop show I went to and I am now hooked.
Utter frustration and futility.

Fantastic movie. I’ve heard that the lead singer of Joy Division is captured very well in the movie, to the point that the other band members were a little creeped out by the movie
