Pittsburgh Press, May 22, 1913:

George Suggs, the Red pitcher, who is badly in the dumps on account of his illness, which prevents him from taking his regular turn in the box, came to Manager Tinker today and made a sportsmanlike proposition.

A sneaky-good Birthday Team today. The top of the rotation is obviously stacked, but the position players aren't half bad. Jay Bell is a HOVG shortstop and Nicholson is a five-time All Star who finished in the top three in MVP voting twice. Maye, Wilson, and Derek Bell were legitimately good MLB players as well.

You could, if you wanted to, move Derek Bell to third base and make room for Thomas Howard in the outfield. But I have no idea why you'd want to.

And a hat tip to Andy Tracy, the greatest infielder my alma mater has ever produced. (We're much better at making pitchers.)

In 1964, Maye's .304 BA was 12th best in the NL among qualifiers, but only third best in Milwaukee's outfield.

Old Hoss Radbourn is running down ESPN's top 100 baseball players -- and I do mean running down -- on his Twitter feed

Tribe/Reds/Diamondbacks deal done. Maybe Trevor Bauer. Definitely Choo/Stubbs/Gregorius.

Are the Dbacks getting something else too? Bauer for Gregorious is awful.

I really liked the Robin Roberts comment.

Hmmm.

Choo and Jason Donald for Gregorius and Stubbs.
Gregorius, Tony Sipp and Lars Anderson for Bauer, Bryan Shaw and Matt Albers.
