White Sox: Three years after letting Ozzie Guillen flee, Ken Williams says baseball needs more guys like him.
Indians: Annual protest of Chief Wahoo logo at home opener falls on deaf ears, as Indians stick by their Wahoo.

Tigers: Of three who didn't allow an earned run in first two starts, two were Tigers -- David Price and Shane Greene.

East Division
Blue Jays: New, softer artificial turf at Rogers Centre (formerly Skydome) has grounders dying on infield, eh.
Orioles: With a .387 slugging percentage early, Chris Davis may change nickname from "Crush" to "Crashed."

West Division
Angels: Josh who? Merchandise with Josh Hamilton's name pulled from Angels Stadium team stores.
Astros: Scott Feldman served up four homers in 112/3 innings, and it's not even hot out yet. Wait till August.

West Division
Diamondbacks: Finally figure out Cuban slugger Yasmany Tomas can't play third, call him up as a left fielder.
