Brilliant pitching from Ben Brown and Javier Assad is applauded, the bullpen gets some love, and Pete Crow-Armstrong continues to be the Cubs' most consistent offensive producer.

Headlines and Draftmas Catalog Today, we're taking a look at some of the wide receivers available in the draft. Will any of them draw the Seahawks' eye? :30- ABCs of the Mariners Chuck is using the ABC's to propose a trade… X is for Expectations: The Mariners have expectations to go to the World Series this year and they aren't letting a 4-9 start get in the way of that. The Chicago Cubs also have eyes on the World Series prize, but they have a lot of injuries to their starting rotation and that could make them excellent trade partners. Soooo, Chuck is trading Luis Castillo and Victor Robles for Ian Happ and Javier Assad or Ben Brown. You keep your pitching depth and improve your defense in left field. Y is for Year: Happ only has a year on his contract, but that could work in your benefit. Z is for Zen Garden: no increased payroll (actually decreases), frees up Hancock and adds depth to bullpen, potential starting depth if needed as well. You've improved your defense and eliminated a platoon, plus you free up money for next year when Anderson and Sloane might come up. :45- Draftmas Stocking Stuffers - There's rumors that there will be a lot of trade activity in this draft. It is a down year, so wouldn't that heighten the opportunity to package some picks up and trade for that one special player? - The Seahawks are being linked to Chris Johnson, a CB out of SDSU.

Starting pitchers have been in the news dazzling us with their performances but also decimating us with an onslaught of injuries. Sara and Shelly are joined by the founder of Pitcher List, Nick Pollack, to debate all things starting pitchers.Discussions:There are more injuries, we can all see it, but what is causing the spike?Max Fried has struggled to start the season, is it small sample noise or cause for concern?We were all excited about Michael King's move to San Diego, but it's been a bit of a bumpy ride.Were we a year (or two) early on Reid Detmers?Javier Assad has a 2.96 MLB ERA in 158 IP -- is he legit or not?Zack Littell has been outstanding in his first two starts, did the Rays do it again?Love it or Leave it:The Rogers Centre renovations have made it harder to track home plate lady and that's a loss for all of us.There is a simple fix to MLB's ongoing quest for the perfect playoff structure.The Red Sox brought back the 2004 crew to kick off their home opener and you will not want to miss any of it (yes, even if you're a Yankees fan).Guest: Nick PollackHosts: Sara Sanchez | Shelly Verougstraete Join: PL+ | PL ProProud member of the Pitcher List Podcast Network
