A Sandbox Regret

Can we learn anything from the mysterious ways of the universe?

Probably not.

But here are some anagrams of the names of a few of baseball’s top prospects that may be able to give us some insight into their future success or failure:

James Paxton, P, Mariners: Met, Sox, Japan

Randall Delgado, P, Braves: A Gnarled Old Lad

Julio Teheran, P, Braves: Injure To Heal

Devin Mesoraco, C, Reds: Manic Overdose

Jedd Gyorko, 3B, Padres: Joky Dodger

Yasmani Grandal, C, Padres: A Damning Salary

Jake Odorizzi, P, Royals: Rookie I’d Jazz

Xander Bogaerts, SS, Red Sox: A Sandbox Regret
