1) The Mets announced that a decision has been made to move Mike Piazza to 1B, some time in the near future. But, even then, he'll probably do some catching.

Meanwhile, the New York press is now making the fact that the announcement was first made to the press, rather than to Piazza, the biggest story in the history of the world.

After 34 RCAA/.957 OPS and 17 RCAA/.903 OPS seasons, Piazza's off to a .494 SLG, .396 OBA, .890 OPS, 4 RCAA start in his first 24 games. He has a .963 career OPS, compared to his league average of .770, and 430 RCAA in 1417 games.

2) The Marlins placed P Josh Beckett on the 15 day DL, sent OF Gerald Williams to the minors and called up Ps Dontrelle Willis and Blaine Neal.

In what could be the best news the team's received all year, Beckett was diagnosed with only having a mildly sprained elbow, with a MRI showing not revealing any ligament damage. He's expected to miss at least 3 weeks. Meanwhile, Beckett's admitted that his arm's been bothering him since the middle of April, but he lied to the trainers and coaching staff.

Williams was removed from the 40 man roster. He's off to a .042 SLG, .115 OBA, .157 OPS, -5 RCAA start in his first 19 games (28 PA) and has a .711 career OPS, compared to his league average of .779, and -97 RCAA in 1064 games.

Willis, 21, was given a B+ grade by John Sickels (35th best pitching prospect in baseball) and was ranked as the Marlins #4 prospect by Baseball America. He has a 1.49 ERA in his first 6 starts in AA in 2003. It's the first time in his career that he's pitched above Hi-A ball.

After having a 2.73 ERA/5 RSAA in 32 games as a 24 year old rookie in 2002 (he also pitched in 4 games in 2001), Neal has a 8.38 ERA/-5 RSAA in 9 major league games this season.

3) The Indians placed OF Karim Garcia on the 15 day DL, when they activated CF Milton Bradley from the DL.

Garcia has a strained left wrist. After having 3 RCAA/.889 OPS in 2002, his first season with more than 20 games since 1999, Garcia's off to a .366 SLG, .238 OBA, .603 OPS, -8 RCAA start in his first 24 games. He has a .701 career OPS, compared to his league average of .770, and -44 RCAA in 351 games.

Johnson went 3 for 8, with a BB and a 2B, in his first 5 major league games.

8) The Mariners activated P Kazuhiro Sasaki from the DL and sent P Rafael Soriano to the minors.

After 3.24 ERA/7 RSAA and 2.52 ERA/11 RSAA seasons, Sasaki's off to a 8.10 ERA/-4 RSAA in his first 11 games. He has a 3.24 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.62, and 23 RSAA in 204 games.

9) The Twins are expected to activate INF Denny Hocking from the DL today.

After -14 RCAA/.654 OPS and -10 RCAA/.633 OPS seasons, Hocking's off to a .200 SLG, .188 OBA, .388 OPS, -3 RCAA start in his first 10 games (just 19 PA). He has a .660 career OPS, compared to his league average of .776, and -103 RCAA in 803 games.
