Sunday Insider: The 3-2 pitch

Three observations and two predictions from La Velle E. Neal III:

Three observations …

• I'm all for fan balloting, but Omar Infante should not be nipping at the heels of Jose Altuve for first place in American League All-Star voting at second base.

• Torii Hunter did the right thing by dropping his appeal for his ejection. How can you defend taking your uniform top off and tossing it on the field?.

• If Major League Baseball really wants to make the amateur draft a big deal, don't play any games on Day 1. That puts all the attention on the draft.

… and two predictions

• Tyler Jay will not be called up this year and will debut for the Twins in 2017.

• After no team scored 800 runs last year, the Blue Jays will score more than 850 this year.
