  1. We all know it barely matters but it's still fun-ish to talk about. Maddon's been toying with a lot of things. Rizzo was at the 2 spot for a while, which I really liked, but I haven't seen him do it in a while. Now it looks like he's toying with the idea of Soler at #2. Whatever it ends up being, I'm really happy with Maddon's views on lineup construction. Also, Maddon loves him some Georgie. Don't we all? http://m.cubs.mlb.com/news/article/115288022/jorge-soler-could-be-maddons-man-in-2-spot
  2. http://www.bleachernation.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/mike-olt-259x300.jpg So... is it possible he's a thing at all? I really, really want him to be. Of course, if he starts off this year as such, it's going to be hilarious trying to figure out what you do with Addison Russell. It's been mentioned before, but with the defense (at least where scouts rate it) where it is, and his approach + power combo, it seems within his grasp to be at least an average to slightly above average starter if he can successfully implement some tweaks, which it seems he may have. So hard to say when it's just spring training, though.

  7. Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 11s11 seconds ago can confirm @Buster_ESPN report Joe Maddon is leaving #Rays using opt-out clause in contract
  8. With Marlin saying we're going hard after both Shields and Lester, plus Wittenmyer having them both tops on our board, might as well have a thread for the Shields pursuit. Thought this was an interesting read http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/return-of-the-james-shields-changeup/

  10. Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 44s High ankle sprain for Castro . Minimum four weeks to return .
  11. I feel like it would help a lot with clutter to have the embedded quotes limited to one...two at most. I've seen it set this way on other boards and it works really well, especially if there's a link to the post being replied to included with the quote (so that you can backtrack easily).
