My daily Spam e-mail was today from "Dr Fausto Carmona". For anyone's interest "Fausto" wrote:

My Name is Sr. Fausto De Carmona

I am from Portugal I have been diagnosed with cancer. It has defiled all
forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to
live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life
so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my
business.

Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to
people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared
for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life
than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it. I would want to have
a Personal and Trustworthy Relationship with you, as I intend and willing
to empower the change of ownership for the transfer of my Deposits to your

I will send you the photos of me and my very hopeless and selfish family
members, including my wife, who I learnt is getting married to my personal
friend and attorney,

Thank you for your due consideration. God be with you. You can reach me

Jordan Bastian during the Wednesday radio broadcast of the game against the Cubs said that the Indians were deferring their left field roster decision as Antonetti discussed a trade. He implied that there might be other positions that the Indians were looking for upgrades through a trade as well.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Rockies left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz lacked efficiency, but was effective Monday afternoon.

Pomeranz needed 85 pitches to go four innings in the Rockies' 6-2 victory over the Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium. But he held the Angels to one run and four hits.

Pomeranz, 23, a rookie who was the key to the deal that sent former ace Ubaldo Jimenez to the Indians, didn't give up a run in his first three Cactus League appearances. But the third, on March 13, was halted after two innings because of a strained right glute muscle.

Pomeranz pitched in a Minor League game against the Angels last Wednesday. He said he is not bothered by the injury, but the disruption to his schedule affected his delivery and his sharpness.

"I wasn't as efficient today," Pomeranz said. "I was trying to work on staying back, but I was still [leaning forward] a little bit. "I was just a little up in the zone today, which is why they fouled a lot of pitches off. I didn't command things as well."

Nonetheless, he felt the number of pitches he threw helped him. "I threw 85 pitches, but it didn't really feel like it," he said. "I feel great. I could have thrown a lot more than that."
