-- Where has this Garrett Jones fellow been all my life? Five home runs in his first 10 games! 1B/OF eligibility! Sign me the hellz up! Actually a quick look at his minor-league page shows exactly where he's been -- stuck in the Minnesota system while trying to figure out how to hit for average as well as power. By the time he did, he was a Pirate. The Pirates keep trading away outfielders, so they figure, We've got openings. We not see if Garrett can hit like this here in Pittsburgh? Garrett says, Sure I can, makes Pirates fans forget about Nyjer Morgan.

-- Man, Franklin Gutierrez keeps on rolling. Did you pick him up when I wrote about him on Wednesday?

-- Jose Valverde's looking pretty solid now. Finally. Astros are winning more, too. Maybe he'll lead the NL in saves in the second half.

-- All those pre-draft debates about whether Chase Utley's health should make him a questionable first-round pick seem ludicrous now.
