Contact Manager for Availability
Walk Everywhere, See Everything, Do Everything should be the name of this awesome property deep in the Historic District.
Savannah is one of the oldest cities in the South and certainly one of the most beautiful. Walking along the famed River Street in the Savannah GA historic district, reminds you of a time long past, a time of beauty, softness and certainly a more relaxing lifestyle. Savannah is just one of those places you need to visit; walk along the streets; sit in the outdoor cafes; stroll through the art galleries and visit the theater in the evening.
But getting into the spirit of Savannah can be a bit difficult, especially when you stay in a conventional hotel room. You just don't experience that southern elegance, the charm and the grandeur of this fabulous city; not unless you stay in one of the more traditional savannah ga historic district homes.
The Grey Pearl is just such a home. This is one of the Savannah GA vacation rentals that epitomize this southern style and look. Best of all, this one bedroom, one bath home is located just a block away from River Street, a feature very few Savannah vacation rental companies can offer.
While staying in this gorgeous Savannah downtown home you can easily stroll along River Street, enjoying the glittering night life, shops and galleries. Admire the once prominent century old cotton warehouses, businesses and homes, now turned into antique shops, boutiques, restaurants, night venues and galleries. Head over to the quaint brew pubs and fabulous restaurants. Finally walk a few blocks back to one of the most comfortable Savannah ga vacation rentals, the Grey Pearl.
This is a soft, elegant and luxurious one bedroom home that isn't offered by any other Savannah vacation rental companies. Located just one block from the opulent River Street, this is one of the Savannah GA vacation rentals that offers convenient location,and rich and tasteful accommodations. It's only by staying in a gracious and tastefully decorated vacation home that you really get an understanding of what Savannah is like.
Walk out your door, turn left and you'll be able to indulge your every craving at an endless array of restaurants on River street and the surrounding savannah downtown area.
This is a rental that most other savannah vacation rental companies can only dream of managing. Not only is it very tastefully designed, well appointend, and spacious, but the very best attribute of this, compared to other Savannah GA vacation rentals, is its fabulous location. Although, a vacation rental with parking space, this is a place that puts you, your family and your friends within short walking distances of all the major attractions of this city known as the perfect southern host.
Based on our client's needs, we've realized that staying within walking distance of the Savannah downtown district is crucial, as it offers stress free convenience (no need to figure out where you are driving.)
This superb one bedroom charming home located within the Savannah GA historic district, has absolutely every amenity you could ever wish for, including luxury private parking. The chic styling offers the perfect combination of old-world elegance and polished modern good looks.
It is a savannah downtown home you'll be hard pressed to find with any of the other savannah vacation rental companies. This is the vacation rental that embraces you with its posh, beautiful furnishings and décor; the perfect place to spend a quiet night at home or even cook a fabulously romantic meal; it could even be inspired by southern cooking experts. Everything from granite countertops, modern wood cabinets and even a gas burning stove and in-house washer and dryer are available here.
After a long day of sightseeing, nothing is as appetizing as being embraced by a gorgeous bedroom, queen sized bed, and flat screen TV. And let's not forget the full bathroom with stand-up shower and large tub. This is much more than what you could ever get in a conventional hotel room, no matter how luxurious it is.
At Southern Bell, service is our strength and we offer some of the most attractive Savannah GA vacation rentals in the city.Southern hospitality is our primary focus, and you'll find that we have this trait in abundance, much more so than any of the other savannah vacation rental companies in town.
Renting homes from Southern Belle is painless and professional. We take credit cards and require a $300.00 deposit to confirm the booking which is applied towards the remaining balance. For example, if your total is $1,000, we will take a $300 deposit and your remaining balance will be $700. Thirty days prior to your arrival our booking software will charge the balance automatically. We also sell Traveler's Insurance which covers medical cancellations.
Upon making a reservation with us, you will receive email confirmations instantly and be able to go directly to the property with no need to check in at our office as all of our homes have lockboxes with keys.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call. Thanks so much for looking.

We have a truly wonderful time! The apartment is lovely, comfortable, well maintained, charming. The location is perfect, so close to everything. It is a pleasure to return to the privacy of an apartment versus a hotel room after being out and about. Having access to a full kitchen and laundry, as well as a private living room, was such a pleasure.

A modelling agency that creates space for poc and features models that don't necessarily conform to conventional standards of beauty. Read more about them here , here and here
There are not many photographers out there that make me want to look at their work twice but I've been browsing through Nguan's work obsessively and I don't think I've ever fallen for a photography aesthetic this hard. He can make even a flight of stairs look interesting, every image on his instagram feed evokes a feeling and I can't help but feel inspired.
Sometimes I feel like the only reason I maintain this blog is because of how much I love photography,to look at and to create, i still suck technically but this blog has helped me so much in finding the aesthetic/concept for the kind of images I, personally want to curate. Taking photos of only my outfits can get boring and it's easy to self-doubt when the camera just sits there not much in use but the seeming possibilities it seduces, but I've learnt to not force myself to enjoy photography and instead reflect on what I'm actually inspired by because contrary to what certain people might have you believe you don't have to click away at every non-living thing to prove that you are an avid photography lover. I swear if I see another aspiring photographer taking photos of skylines and clouds and using horrible studio lighting for fashion shoots. Find your voice. It's obvious when you're not genuine it shows in the photos.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Park Police say the Memorial Bridge was closed for several hours after a vehicle drove off the bridge into the Potomac River.
Police say the unidentified driver was taken to a local hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening. The accident occurred about 10 p.m. Sunday night.
Sgt. Paul Brooks says the vehicle crashed through a barrier on the Virginia side of the bridge. Police say it was not immediately clear why the sport utility vehicle left the roadway. The bridge was re-opened about 2:30 a.m. Monday.

This is fun and I can see some things ending in fire. I do like the sigil on Ranma's forehead, how its a mix of moon and sun. Good stuff.

The anime Sailor Scouts strike once again! :)
It's been while since I've read the manga, but these days it's always feels a little bit strange when I read about the anime version of Sailor Moon rather than the manga version. The manga Senshi, especially towards the end of the series are tempered warriors who have been fighting eldritch monstrosities for years, who went through betrayal, death and rebirth. They aren't by any means green, and would stomp over the Ranma cast like nothing.
It's not a reproach per se, it's just that I feel strange reading about the anime scouts flailing around when their manga versions are so much /more/.
If I may, there's a superb AU/rewrite Sailor Moon on that you should read.
Of The Stars
In the aeons before distant memory, an empire of myth and legend fell. But what has fallen can rise anew. The weight of ages falls on the shoulders of Usagi Tsukino. And her task will not be an easy one.
| Valkarious chapter 4 . 10/30/2013
You've got me hooked! I'm very much looking forward to reading more, so keep the good work coming.
| Farmer Kyle chapter 4 . 10/20/2013
A great example of the Ranma/Sailor Moon fandom! It's refreshing to see a quality piece that's not years old. You even have me excited about your antagonists, and just what their angle in all this is. I will wait eagerly for the next chapter.
Good Luck in Life and Writing!

| Shinkicker chapter 4 . 10/14/2013
Cool story, seems things are coming together nicely, and not in the annoying RanmaIsAnEnemy way. Really hope to see more, guess I could cheat and check FukuFics heh, but dun wanna spoil myself.
Thanks for posting!
| Emdee chapter 1 . 10/14/2013
A question:
In the paragraph following the date 'March 20, 1999', there's a part that says "It wasn't just the end of secondary education, it was a rithe day Ranma had shown up..."
I can't figure out what is/was supposed to be there, and it's really bugging me; can you tell me what it is meant to be?
| Gibelyou chapter 4 . 10/13/2013
I must say I was expecting you to drag out the drama over Makoto and Mousse not knowing the secrets for sure and noticing odd things about each other. Your author note from last time made me suspect that it was going to be a bigger deal. I'm not saying it was Ba how you did it but you had built it up into this imagined thing in my head.
Looking forward to your next chapter.
| Bear Templar chapter 4 . 10/13/2013
Intresting story curious about what is going to occur.
One suggestion in format would be to use ' ' for thoughts or something else such as italics, simply to make it easier to tell that it is a thought rarther than speech.
| Dumbledork chapter 4 . 10/12/2013
Well, I think the story is alright, except for the Ranma/Akane pairing of course.
| Wing Zero 032 chapter 4 . 10/10/2013
It's amazing how everthing turned for the best to everyone after the series, even for Ryoga who now seems to be the rich boy of the story and have a thing for Amy.
I bet by the time the sensh reach the battle zone they will winteess the transformation of Ranma into Sailor Moon to everyone's shock!
| Ranmayamabushi chapter 4 . 10/10/2013
Very enjoyable story, keep up the great work and I hope to see more!
| Hishin Trueflame chapter 4 . 10/10/2013
I really hope the next chapter will come out sooner. Ranma Sailor Moon fanfics of this quality are too rare in my opinion.

What's a standard drink?
What is alcohol?
Alcohol (ethanol or ethyl alcohol) is the ingredient found in beer, wine and spirits that can cause drunkenness. Alcohol is formed when yeast ferments (breaks down without oxygen) the carbohydrates or sugars in different food eg, wine is made from the sugar in grapes, beer from the sugar in malted barley (a type of grain), cider from the sugar in apples, vodka from the sugar in potatoes, beets or other plants.
Standard drinks
The standard drinks measure is a simple way for you to work out how much alcohol you are drinking. It measures the amount of pure alcohol in a drink. One standard drink equals 10 grams of pure alcohol.
To work out the number of standard drinks in what you are drinking use this formula:
Amount of drink in litres (Vol) x Percent by volume of alcohol (%) x Density of ethanol at room temperature (0.789)
500ml of beer which is 5 percent alcohol by volume.
0.5 x 5 x 0.789 = 1.97 (approx 2 standard drinks)
If you want to print something out with this information on it, download The Straight Up Guide to Standard Drinks (pdf 463KB), which includes information about the number of standard drinks in different drinks.

... the next day, and we change to get ready for the softball game at 8pm. Apparently it's really relaxed and they all drink out of their "red cups" whilst they play. Playing softball and drinking sounds like a disaster to me, but we decided to get involved. So we stopped at the liquor store on the way to the game and get some of our favourite "Lime-a-rita's".
We get to the game, and I see some people ...
Feather river in Oroville, CA
thank GOD I didn't settle for the first RV site I found on the Internet for Oroville. I pulled into a place and it was a mobile home park with a few dumpy RV sites sprinkled in. It was very scary so instead of being miserable I reached out to my friend Google, and found a place right down the road on the feather river - River reflections, RV park and campground. I was willing to pay anything to secure a spot for ...
Snow and art at the Ananda Meditation Retreat
I am behind in posting to the blog. This happened about 10 days ago.
Snow in April? Really? We managed to avoid snow all 11 months of the trip except for one New Year's Morning in Tucson, but now, here we were in the Sierra Foothills at the Ananda Meditation Retreat when we woke up to 3-4 inches of spring snow. Not unexpected in places in far northern latitudes and not totally unusual ...

Hi All,
Just wanted to post my first attempt at cross processing E200 in C-41 chemistry. I rated the film at its normal ISO of 200 and processed it with normal c41 times. I printed these photos in my darkroom yesterday and scanned them this mourning. I was some what amazed at the saturation of the big red flower. See attached photos. All feed back appreciated.

All that I could think about was the unbearable heat.

Bradley Cooper apparently won't ease up on his charm offensive until he has captured the affections of Jennifer Lopez.
A spy tells Us Weekly that the actor, 36, is "really trying to woo Jennifer in a big way," with another revealing, "He has been after Jennifer, calling her, for ages."
Last weekend, the budding flames, who have reportedly been phoning and texting "a lot," were photographed driving together in Los Angeles, a rendezvous that required a major effort from Cooper.
Seems he has been filming in Philadelphia and jetted into town for less than 48 hours.
"She was flattered he flew across the country to spend a few hours with her," a source tells People, adding, "Jennifer is very flattered by his persistence. He is growing on her."
Presumably like a really attractive fungus.
"She's thinks he's hot as hell," a Lopez friend enthuses to Life & Style.
"Considering how depressed she has been since her breakup, it's no surprise that she has finally decided to let him in," another J.Lo insider tattles to Us. "She needs a boost, and he really wants her, so for the first time since the split, she is allowing herself to go with the flow."
To a point, at least. Both mags quote insiders as saying she's worried that they don't have much common ground, from his lack of Latin blood to her parental obligations to 3-year-old twins Max and Emme.
And even though Cooper is said to be "very supportive of the fact that she is a mom," not everyone is on board with his pursuit.
"He has dated a lot of famous women," points out a mole to Us, "and Jennifer's friends are questioning his intentions."
Bradley called time on his two-year romance with Renée Zellweger back in March, and since then has been linked to the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Olivia Wilde.
J.Lo, 42, split with hubby Marc Anthony in July, a decision she supposedly questioned in the aftermath.
Now, however, "She seems very happy and has snapped out of her post-separation gloom," a source explains to People. "She is all about the future now."
Concludes a snitch to Us, "I don't think her relationship with Bradley will become anything long term, but he could be Mr. Right now."

Nick Castellanos Rumors
AL Notes: Red Sox, Castellanos, Weaver, Anderson
Despite what has been a wildly disappointing season to this point, the Red Sox aren't likely to completely blow up their roster again, writes Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports in his latest 10 Degrees column. For all of Boston's 2015 woes, the team will still have Mookie Betts, Dustin Pedroia and Xander Bogaerts up the middle in 2015, and the departure of Mike Napoli via free agency could allow Hanley Ramirez to move over to first base with Rusney Castillo getting an everyday outfield role. Blake Swihart, too, has shown promise this month and gives the team another building block. Passan hears that the team has no designs on trying to dump either Ramirez or Pablo Sandoval to another club.
A few more notes from around the AL…
- Nick Castellanos isn't hitting well in 2015, but manager Brad Ausmus tells MLB.com's Jason Beck that the Tigers will remain patient with the young third baseman. The team has a plan on how to handle Castellanos' struggles, and while Ausmus wouldn't elaborate, there's no talk of sending him to Triple-A or reducing his playing time dramatically. The 23-year-old Castellanos is hitting just .217/.267/.328 in 255 plate appearances this year.
- Angels right-hander Jered Weaver hit the DL last night due to hip inflammation, writes Mike DiGiovanna of the L.A. Times, and he'll undergo an MRI to determine if there is anything more severe at play. Weaver said he's felt a sharp pain in his hip on and off as of late, and DiGiovanna notes that there's always some concern with this type of injury that the MRI will reveal a tear and necessitate surgery. The Halos did position themselves to be able to replace an injury to one of their starters this winter by acquiring Andrew Heaney and Nick Tropeano.
- Cody Anderson is the Indians' latest attempt to fix what has been a revolving door in the fifth spot of their rotation, writes Zack Meisel of Cleveland.com. The 24-year-old rookie made his big league debut Sunday and pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings against the Rays, limiting Tampa to six hits and a walk with four strikeouts. Manager Terry Francona was impressed not only by the results and Anderson's poise on the mound, but his ability to hold runners and field his position. "I'm sure there's a lot of guys in player development today that are really proud," said Francona. "And, they should be, because he did a hell of a job." For the time being, it seems that Anderson will have the opportunity to lock down that rotation spot, and I'd imagine his ability (or inability) to do so could impact Cleveland's plans come July.

AL Central Notes: Hahn, Castellanos, Perez
Let's take a look in at the AL Central, which is currently fronted by a surprising Twins club — though not due to the poor performance of the rest of the division. With the Indians streaking and the Royals and Tigers still looking like threats, to say nothing of a White Sox team that is still in the picture as well, it's probably not too soon to call this the most competitive division in baseball.
- White Sox GM Rick Hahn says that he still expects several players to improve their play back toward their career norms, as MLB.com's Scott Merkin reports. While Hahn rightly notes that there's still plenty of time, of course, the AL Central does not look like the easiest division to make a run at from behind. That means that Chicago will increasingly need to consider "contingency plans," as Merkin puts it, if buying at the deadline does not make sense. "Marching orders for our scouts heading out of Spring Training were looking at our positions of need at the big league level and targeting guys to help shore those up for a stretch run," explains Hahn. "At the same time, we have our pro scouts out at the Minor League level preparing for, should we need to go the other way, and look at more prospect-focused deals. At this point, our intent is to look to add at the Deadline and put ourselves in a better position to win."
- Young Tigers third baseman Nick Castellanos has always seemed primed to hit in the big leagues, though that remains a work in progress. While he has yet to turn things on at the dish, however, he has made a significant improvement in his glovework, as Grantland's Ben Lindbergh examines. Castellanos acknowledges that "the game definitely got fast for [him] a little bit" at third after a long pause in his work at that position. It took a lot of work and subtle adjustments, but Lindbergh explains that Castellanos has made strides in completing more difficult plays, especially on balls hit down the line. Certainly, the overall improvement bodes well for his long-term ability to stick at third, though his bat will need to come around as well.
- Fellow infielder Hernan Perez is now on the move from the Tigers after being claimed by the Brewers yesterday. GM Dave Dombrwoski says that he had attempted to recoup some value from Perez in trade, but interest was minimal. While that gave some hope that he'd get through waivers, it didn't prove to be the case. (Video link via MLive.com.)

Central Notes: Tigers, Castellanos, Beltran, Konerko, Twins
As we work on catching up on things after a busy few days, here's the latest from the AL Central, which has been among the game's busiest divisions of late:
- Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski made clear today that the trades of Prince Fielder and Doug Fister were connected both to the signing of closer Joe Nathan and the need to lock up major players like Max Scherzer, reports MLB.com's Jason Beck. "A very big part of what we were trying to accomplish [was] to get a closer," said Dombrowski. "And when I say that, sometimes you need some flexibility to make some other things happen, too. We do have some players that are on the verge of being free agents that are pretty big players for us, that you want to create some flexibility there to be in the right spot at various times."
- Dombrowski did, however, downplay the likelihood of a major new signing. "I would think that we would not be involved in the big [names]," said the GM.
In the wake of the Fielder-for-Ian Kinsler trade, Dombrowski says Nick Castellanos will start at third base with Miguel Cabrera moving back to first, writes Chris Iott of MLive.com. The news confirms what had been suspected at the time, and jives with rumors linking Detroit to Shin-Soo Choo. It also confirms the broader market effects of the Fielder-Kinsler swap: that deal increased the amount of cash pegged for corner outfielders.
- Indeed, one such player, Carlos Beltran, is fielding interest from several clubs. He is very unlikely to get more than two years from the Yankees or Red Sox, however, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. It also appears that, if he wants to build up bidding for his services, Beltran may need to wait until Shin-Soo Choo leaves the market. Heyman reports that the Tigers, Reds, and Rangers are all very interested in Choo but also see Beltran as an option. While the Mariners are also involved and could be willing to spend big to lure the 36-year-old to the Pacific Northwest, Heyman indicates that the Royals are still perhaps the odds-on favorite to land Beltran out of the crowded field of suitors.
- After signing on for one more go-round with the White Sox, Paul Konerko plans to hang up his spikes afte 2014, tweets Jim Bowden of ESPN.com.
- The Twins' off-season trade talks may have been gummed up by the recent suspension of well-regarded prospect Eddie Rosario, reports Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The 22-year-old Rosario cracks the top ten of the Minnesota prospect list, per Baseball America (subscription required, and recommended), which is particularly impressive given the top-end talent ahead of him. With Brian Dozier emerging as an option at second, Rosario had been the most likely prospect to be dangled as trade bait.
- Twins GM Terry Ryan told Berardino that he sees free agency as the more likely route to add MLB players at this point, even after picking up Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes on the open market. "I don't want to give up any of our players," Ryan said. "I'm not saying we won't make a trade. We might. But if you're going to get a quality starter, it's going to be difficult."

Top Prospect Promotions: Choice, Castellanos
As we learn of top prospect promotions over September, we'll try to keep tabs on them in a daily basis. Here are Sunday's promotions:
- The Athletics are set to bring up outfielder Michael Choice, the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser first reported last night. Choice entered the season as the A's second overall prospect as rated by Baseball America, which praised his strength and bat speed. He currently sits as the 92nd overall prospect in the game on Mayo's list. The 23-year-old has delivered a .302/.390/.445 line and fourteen homers in 600 plate appearances over his first season at Triple-A.
- The Tigers have officially called up the team's top prospect, with the team announcing on Twitter that it has purchased the contract of outfielder Nick Castellanos. The former third baseman entered the year as a consensus top-50 prospect in all of baseball, and moved up to 11th overall in the mid-season ranking of MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo. As Mayo explained, the 21-year-old hits the ball to all fields and has solid pop.

Stark On Astros, Ethier, Brewers, Papelbon, Stanton
The latest column from ESPN's Jayson Stark is jam-packed with trade-related information. Highlights:
- One National League executive predicted that the Cubs' Matt Garza will be the first pitcher traded; he's thought to be eminently available, as the Cubs are not comfortable with his asking price on a potential new contract. The Padres and Dodgers are among the teams pursuing Garza, reported Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports earlier today.
- The Astros are looking for volume in any deal they make, one NL exec told Stark. Bud Norris is an obvious trade chip for Jeff Luhnow and company, while I imagine Carlos Pena, Jose Veras, Erik Bedard, Lucas Harrell, Wesley Wright, Ronny Cedeno, and others can be had as well.
- The Dodgers are not actively dangling right fielder Andre Ethier. What's more, the team still views itself as a buyer despite being eight games out. They may be interested in adding a third baseman they can control for multiple years, implies Stark.
- Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche could be dealt, hears Stark, in a scenario where Ryan Zimmerman moves to first base, Anthony Rendon moves back to third base, and Danny Espinosa gets healthy. LaRoche's name is not out there at present, however.
- The Brewers will "gladly listen" on third baseman Aramis Ramirez, as well as any position player other than Jean Segura, Carlos Gomez, and Ryan Braun. I wonder if that means names such as Jonathan Lucroy and Norichika Aoki will be in play next month.
- Execs who spoke to Stark seem divided on whether the Brewers want to trade Yovani Gallardo, with one saying, "To be honest, I think they would love to move him." Click here for thoughts from Brewers GM Doug Melvin on the situation.
- The Phillies are talking to the Red Sox and Tigers about closer Jonathan Papelbon right now, one exec tells Stark, even if they say otherwise.
- Officials of three teams that have talked to the Marlins about slugger Giancarlo Stanton are convinced owner Jeffrey Loria won't trade him this summer. In an April poll of over 13,000 MLBTR readers, over 40% thought Stanton would be dealt this summer.
- Other teams say the Tigers are willing to surrender top prospects Nick Castellanos or Avisail Garcia if necessary. The team is focused on finding a closer.
- The Braves are "all over the bullpen market," which jives with a couple of other reports today.
- The Giants "have taken on a whole new fervor in the last week in their hunt for another starter." They've been connected often to Nolasco, but there are around 20 viable candidates out there of varying quality. The Orioles could make a move before the All-Star break, hears Stark, and they seem to be prioritizing starters over relievers.

Prospect Rumor Roundup: Future Promotions
If you're a moderate to hardcore baseball fan, you've probably heard of the term "Super Two" when top prospects and their imminent big league promotions are being discussed. Basically, it's an important business aspect of baseball that can cause your favorite MLB-ready prospect to spend a little extra time in the minors. For a refresher on the subject, check out Tim Dierkes' article from April and Ben Nicholson-Smith's post from February.
Now that you're up to date and understand why some players have been recently called up to the Majors, it's time to identify the next big-named prospects who could be promoted in 2013, following in the footsteps of the Rays' Wil Myers, the Mets' Zack Wheeler, and the Mariners' Mike Zunino.
Xander Bogaerts, SS, Red Sox: Bogaerts, 20, didn't let his age stop him from dominating Double-A ball. One of the youngest players in the Eastern League, the shortstop hit more than .300 with strong on-base skills and power. The Aruba native earned himself a trip to Triple-A after less than half a season. A strong start to 2013 earned fellow shortstop prospect (and potential roadblock) Jose Iglesias a 25-man roster spot as the backup to oft-injured veteran Stephen Drew, but Bogaerts has a much higher ceiling. Iglesias is much more likely to end up as trade bait thanks to his high-level play — should Boston need to shore up its roster for a run at the playoffs. Drew is a free agent at the end of the year, and the Red Sox may want to give Bogaerts a chance to get his feet wet in the Majors by the end of the year to gauge if he's truly ready to assume the full-time gig in 2014.
Nick Castellanos, 3B/OF, Tigers: Castellanos had a modest start to the 2013 season, but he's seen his offensive numbers improve each month with his OPS rising from .755 to .814 to 1.025. Also working in his favor for a call-up is the fact that he can offer competent defensive assistance at both third base and in the corner outfield. Miguel Cabrera isn't going to be bumped from his starting gig at the hot corner, but the emergence of Castellanos could allow the club to rest the veteran in the second half of the year in preparation for long playoff run. The prospect could also be a solid platoon complement to left fielder Andy Dirks, a left-handed hitter. It would also give Avisail Garcia — another rookie outfielder — a chance to spend more time in Triple-A. Lynn Henning of the Detroit News wrote that Castellanos could be a key player for the big league club as it tries to secure a playoff spot in 2013.
Sonny Gray, RHP, Athletics: Aside from Bartolo Colon, injuries have ensured that Oakland's starting rotation lacks pitchers with more than two years of service time. Due to the volatility of young pitchers, depth could become an issue for the first-place club in the second half of the year. Gray, a former first round draft pick, could offer some help after rebounding well from a disappointing 2012 season. The right-hander has averaged more than six innings per start in his 13 Triple-A appearances and struck out 83 batters in 82 1/3 innings of work.
Erik Johnson, RHP, White Sox: Chicago is currently deploying an inexperienced starting rotation with the likes of Hector Santiago, Jose Quintana, and Dylan Axelrod. Johnson, a former second round draft pick, has dominated pro ball and his time at Double-A in 2013 has been no different. He currently has a 2.24 ERA with 74 strikeouts and just 21 walks in 84 2/3 innings of work. Johnson, 23, has a frame that suggests he should develop into an innings-eater and his pitching acumen could eventually help him develop into a No. 2 or 3 starter for the Sox. The California native could offer some assistance to the big league club in the second half of the season, and he has the highest ceiling of any starter in the Sox system at either Double-A or Triple-A. Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune recently penned an article after speaking with Johnson, who said he's just taking it one day at a time and not worrying about a promotion to The Show.
Danny Salazar, RHP, Indians: After spending big in the offseason, Cleveland finds itself in a playoff hunt. With a big league starting rotation that features some rather large question marks with the likes of Ubaldo Jimenez, Scott Kazmir, and Carlos Carrasco, Salazar could become a key player at some point during the second half of the season. While splitting the season between Double-A and Triple-A, the Dominican right-hander has struck out 80 batters in 58 innings of work. If he doesn't figure into the club's plans in the starting rotation, his power arsenal and ability to pitch multiple innings could allow him to offer some assistance in the bullpen in the latter half of the year and even the playoffs. In a piece for MLB.com, John Wagner spoke to Salazar's Triple-A manager, Chris Tremie, who talked about the things that the young pitcher does well.
Jonathan Singleton, 1B/OF, Astros: Singleton's season got off to an inauspicious start when he was suspended for 50 games after violating minor league baseball's drug policy. Since returning, the 21-year-old hitter has appeared in just 10 games, split between Single-A, Double-A and now Triple-A. Thirteen of his 20 hits have gone for extra bases, and he's walked 13 times. Singleton has experience playing both left field and first base but has exclusively played the infield in 2013. Despite that, his clearest opening for big league playing time could be in the outfield where Trevor Crowe, J.D. Martinez, and (recently demoted) Jimmy Paredes have produced less-than-impressive numbers. First basemen/designated hitters Chris Carter and Carlos Pena have also had underwhelming seasons to date (and could become trade bait) but offer much-needed power. The playoffs are out of the question for 2013, but once outfield prospect George Springer joins Singleton in Houston, the club will have a strong middle-of-the-order core to build around.
Yordano Ventura, RHP, Royals: Talented but undersized pitching prospects are slowly shedding the stigma that they're destined for future bullpen work at the big league level. Like Toronto's Marcus Stroman, the slender Ventura doesn't break the six-foot mark, but his upper-90s velocity — which tickles triple digits — has intrigued prospect watchers since he came over to North America from the Dominican Republic in 2010. After opening 2013 in Double-A, a recent promotion has brought Ventura one step away from the Majors. Should injuries strike — or should the Royals tire of the inconsistent performances from Luis Mendoza or Wade Davis — the 22-year-old Dominican could receive the call. Jeffrey Flanagan of Fox Sports Kansas City recently spoke to Royals Assistant General Manager J.J. Picollo who said the organization is looking to have Ventura become more efficient and keep his pitch counts down.

Quick Hits: Tigers, White Sox, Yankees
Alfredo Aceves has irked his bosses in Boston, but shipping him to another team wouldn't necessarily be easy for the Red Sox. One general manager told Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com that Aceves has next to no trade value. "Not if you know him," the GM said (Twitter link). Here are more links from around MLB…
- Lynn Henning of the Detroit News explains how the Tigers nearly failed to sign prospect Nick Castellanos after they drafted him in the summer of 2010.
- MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince looks around the AL Central to see if any of the re-tooled teams can challenge the Tigers in 2013.
- In a video clip on MLB.com, White Sox GM Rick Hahn discusses the organization's approach to remaining competitive while undergoing cycles of team building. Hahn highlighted the importance of monitoring the strengths and weaknesses of division opponents while remaining realistic about one's own organization.
- Turning to the team's present situation, Hahn opined that Chicago is poised to compete in 2013 and discussed the team's handling of young starter Chris Sale.
- Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan questions and analyzes Brian Cashman's claims that the Yankees are committed to and successful at developing homegrown starting pitching. The piece details each team's success at developing pitching in recent years.

Quick Hits: Blue Jays, Marlins, Ethier
Now that we're midway through the 2012-13 offseason, Jayson Stark of ESPN.com checks in with executives, statistical analysts and oddsmakers to take a look at the teams that have improved themselves the most this winter. Not surprisingly, the Blue Jays are a popular choice for most improved team. Here are some more links from around MLB…
- The Marlins tried to trade for Mike Olt of the Rangers, Nick Castellanos of the Tigers and Jedd Gyorko of the Padres before signing Placido Polanco, Stark reports.
- The Mariners recently spoke with the Dodgers about Chris Capuano, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports reports. However, it doesn't appear that those talks have progressed. Seattle could add a veteran arm after trading Jason Vargas to the Angels for Kendrys Morales, and the Dodgers have a surplus of starting pitchers.
- The Red Sox asked the Dodgers about Andre Ethier at the start of the winter and heard he was "not available," Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). It doesn't appear that the Dodgers will trade Ethier this winter.
- The Mariners also talked to the Dodgers about Ethier, Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports report. However, talks failed to progress.

Central Links: Castellanos, Cardinals, Miller, Crowe
Between baseball's two Central divisions, at least six teams figure to be buyers, and more could emerge depending on how the coming weeks play out. The White Sox, Tigers, Indians, Reds, Pirates, and Cardinals could all add pieces prior to July 31, and here are some links pertaining to those clubs…
- The Tigers are telling teams that top prospect Nick Castellanos is unavailable in any trade "at least right now," according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today (on Twitter).
- Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports echoes that sentiment, tweeting that he'd be "very surprised" if the Tigers move Castellanos for a rental (Twitter link).
- The Cardinals were one of the teams in on Ben Sheets prior to his signing with the Braves, tweets Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, who adds that the Cards continue to look for upgrades to their rotation.
- Cardinals top prospect Shelby Miller has struggled in 2012, but B.J. Rains of FOX Sports Midwest quotes GM John Mozeliak as saying, "Clearly we're still very high on him" (Twitter link).
- The Indians announced that Trevor Crowe has been released from Triple-A Columbus (on Twitter). The former No. 14 overall pick is now 28 years old and has managed just a .736 OPS in parts of five Triple-A seasons. He batted .245/.295/.329 in three Major League stints.

Tigers Notes: Brantly, Castellanos, Pitching
The Tigers could use an upgrade at second base and they could also consider corner outfielders and starting pitchers between now and the end of the month. Here's the latest on the Tigers, who have a 44-42 record after winning five consecutive games:
- Trade candidates such as Jed Lowrie, Darwin Barney, Marco Scutaro and Carlos Quentin would interest the Tigers, but it might be prohibitively expensive to trade for them, Lynn Henning of the Detroit News writes.
- The Tigers are probably willing to part with prospect Rob Brantly, Henning writes. Casey Crosby, Jacob Turner or Bruce Rondon could also be available, but the Tigers don't want to discuss Nick Castellanos. The third base prospect, who was recently named MVP of the Futures Game, has taken fly balls in the outfield to increase his versatility.
- Tigers president and GM Dave Dombrowski says the trade market is "probably as tight as any" he has seen. The new collective bargaining agreement will also affect the deadline, since teams can no longer obtain draft picks for players acquired midseason. "The compensation issue will definitely have an effect," Dombrowski told Henning. "How much of a change? Only time will tell. I really don't know what's going to happen."
- Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports keeps hearing different things about the Tigers (Twitter link). He's recently heard that Detroit will focus on pitching because the team's decision makers can't find a second baseman they like.

"You haven't got a letter on yours," George observed. "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid – we know we're called Gred and Forge."
"And what if I wave my wand and nothing happens?"
"So you mean the Stone's only safe as long as Quirrell stands up to Snape?" said Hermione in alarm.
Speaking quietly so that no one else would hear, Harry told the other two about Snape's sudden, sinister desire to be a Quidditch referee.
As though an invisible hand were writing upon it, words appeared on the smooth surface of the map. "Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."
One of them was a very old wizard who was wearing a long flowery nightgown. The other was clearly a Ministry wizard; he was holding out a pair of pinstriped trousers and almost crying with exasperation.
Mr. Weasley, it's Harry.. the fireplace has been blocked up. You won't be able to get through there."
"How do you feel, Georgie?" whispered Mrs.Weasley.
(Harry, just being greeted by Percy) "Harry!" said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. "Simply splendid to see you, old boy—"
Fred Weasley: "Ask no questions and I will tell you no lies!"
