When I think of slumber, Sleeping Beauty always comes to mind. Serenity. Soothing sounds. Then the logos of Simmons, Sealy, and Serta start bouncing around in my head like the old-school DVD screensavers. When I shake my head to get rid of it, the voice of Larry from Sit ‘n Sleep echoes like Chinese water torture in the vast emptiness of my cranial cavity, “Or your mattress is FREEEEEE!!!” Please, blog, may I have some more?

[doing A Beautiful Mind math on the window of a Harvard dorm] Teoscar gets hurt…Chris Taylor does nothing going on three years…Enrique Hernandez does more than anyone thought possible for, like, five years, but it’s still really not much…Add in Muncy stinking up the joint…Throw in the Dodgers not really liking Hyeseong Kim even though they were the ones who signed him…Subtract seventeen starters to the IL, which isn’t important for this math problem, but I’m still factoring it in…How did they spend three billion on a team and have four starters and one is Landen Knack, again, irrelevant, but I’m factoring it in…Add in having a great catcher in Will Smith…No, the other Will Smith…No, not the other other Will Smith…Then DFA Austin Barnes…carry the catcher to the majors and the answer is…Dalton Shushing is promoted! Please, blog, may I have some more?

I’ve heard some fantasy baseball people suggesting Diamondbacks SS Jordan Lawlar was called up to be the short side of a DH platoon, but I think it’s pretty safe to ignore that noise. Some players are too important to get wrong, and very few organizations (cough cough Colorado) play fast and loose with the development of those guys, sacrificing their progression to fill a big league bench role.
