A Happy Mother’s Day to the moms out there in the intergalactic SU subscriber base.  This is clearly big news.  The San Diego Padres have designated Chase Headley for assignment after his .115 start this season.  SU says let’s see if Brian Cashman picks him up as we all know he has a soft spot in his heart for Headley.  Maybe the Mets will show some interest?

Here is a good trivia question.  SU usually doesn’t put these out there because many of you cheat (or should I say use the internet to find the answer).  But I think the answer to this question is hard to actually find on the internet so have at it:

“What MLB player hit a World Series home run in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s?”

It’s a tough question but SU did get the answer.  Hint: it came up during today’s Yankee – Oakland game.  That is actually a helpful hint.

Kudos to long-time subscriber, B. Rosano, who predicted a Yankee letdown against Oakland this weekend after the intense stretch against playoff contenders.  The team is definitely playing a little less intensely.  Neil Walker has solidified his position on the roster now with a game winning, walk-off hit today.  SU believes that Cashman will bring up Brandon Drury by Tuesday (apparently his last allowable rehab day in the minors) and will send down Tyler Austin who is in a major 0 for slump and has probably earned the demotion.  SU says teach Drury to play some first base while Bird is rehabbing.  Once Bird returns, they will then have a decision to make with the roster.

SU says that Aaron Hicks has put his spot in centerfield in a bit of jeopardy as Clint Frazier is heating up in the minors.  One of those two will be packaged in the trade for a starting pitcher soon.

Matt Harvey: 4 innings and one hit in his Reds debut as a starter.  Something to watch and see if the Reds turn him into a trade deadline deal for prospects come July.
