Yu know what: No no-no!

On Tuesday in Toronto, Michael Bourn- who struggled through spring training-made his debut for Cleveland with a 2 for 5 game and scored a run as the Indians topped the Jays, 4-1 in the opener for both teams.

The big story of the night was Texas' Yu Darvish coming within 1 out of a perfect game against Houston, before Jose Altuve hit a ground ball throught his legs into center field to end the bid.  The Rangers won the game, 7-0- evening both team's records at 1-1.

This season begins with 12 HomeSiders in the majors leagues, 6 with the Phillies.  In addition to Hamels, Kendrick, Bastardo, Howard, Brown and Galvis with the mother ship, Vance Worley (MIN), Jay Happ (TOR), Gavin Floyd (CHI), Alfredo Simon (CIN) , Bourn and Lou Marson (CLE) are the others who start this week in the show.

I have not forgotten about the Clearwater roster. While on the website they state they have it, they have yet to post a list or update their roster page.

The following players have been released or decided to enter free agency:

RJ Swindle, Zack Segovia, Matt Maloney (all time winningest pitcher for the Claws), Matt Rizzotti, Sergio Escalona, Adrian Cardenas, Greg Golson, Will Savage, Carlos Monasterios, Kevin Howard and Bobby Korecky.
