This Weekend's action has been interesting to say the least so far. The Jays sat Frank Thomas, Johan Santana was brilliant and Corey Hart got his first long ball as the Brewers continue to roll after a rough series in St Louis. But luckily the action doesn't stop there. Here are a couple things to look forward to in the rest of this weekends action.

• Royals prospect Luke Hochevar will make a start in place of the injured John Bale on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. Hochevar is 1-1 with a 2.60 ERA in 3 starts for the AAA Omaha Royals. Hochevar was the first overall pick in the 2006 draft. He looks to stick with the parent ball club and win a spot in the rotation.

• Speaking of the 06 Draft, lets take a look back at the first round. Beyond Hochevar was taken with the first pick in the draft, there were a lot of major league ready talent, if not already competing in the bigs already. Guy of mention are Evan Longoria, Tim Lincecum(how did he fall to 10?), Clayton Kershaw, Brad Lincoln, Brandon Morrow, Andrew Miller, Matt Antonelli, Max Schrezer, Ian Kennedy and Travis Snyder.

• So what is up with the Cubs ultimately deciding to go with Matt Murton? The Cubs sent down Eric Patterson for the often rumored Matt Murton. Murton went 0-2 and left 3 runners on base today in Chicago's whooping of Pittsburgh. My only guess to the switch is to give him one more chance to prove he is Major League ready before the Cubs let go of him via trade.
  

• Whether or not Brewers fans are nervous after the Ben Sheets incident, they should see it as a good thing. It might give management a bit more time to decide who they will drop when Yovani Gallardo comes back. My guess would be Manny Parra, but I also thought Claudio Vargas had a spot on this team.

• The Three Catchers in Houston experiment is over with Kaz Matsui coming back Friday from the 15 day DL. The Astros designated Humberto Quintero for an assignment. Though I am not sold on Kaz Matsui's ability to get on base, this will definitely help the top of the order in Houston.

• White Sox fans have to sit through another April of Paul Konerko struggles. Konerko is just hitting .176 so far this season. Though the White Sox are winning, it has to be frustrating to see. Konerko has more walks than hits so far this season. Fantasy owners, once he gets hot though, pick him up. He will stay that way for a long time.
