Good morning everyone! Let's see what went on in the last few days:

• In case you missed it, the Rangers have acquired first baseman Mike Napoli from the Red Sox.
• Jeff Sullivan wonders if Carlos Correa is the best shortstop in baseball right now.
• Eno Sarris at Fangraphs looks at how major league debuts affect a player.
• Andrew Felper has a cool story on the Cape Cod League and how the league helps develop college players.
• FiveThirtyEight notices that the MLB projections were far from their mark this season and wonders why that might be (thanks to Munenori's Espresso Stand for the reference).

• The Astros made a deal to acquire pitcher Oliver Perez from the Diamondbacks.
• The Blue Jays also made a small deal, picking up infielder Cliff Pennington from Arizona.
