From Peter Gammons news and notes column yesterday... just a small blurb but what the hey, any praise this team can get is worth posting.

From one scout: "One of my favorite pitchers to watch is Zack Greinke. He is Greg Maddux. He commands his fastball in every quadrant of the strike zone, has two different curveballs and pitches to whatever the situation. He is really good."

It was the Phillies who were awarded the Carlos Beltran claim, but there was no deal to be made and the Astros pulled him back. Speaking of the Phillies, there are increased rumblings that Larry Bowa will survive, but there will be major offseason changes on the coaching staff.
