Its going to be interesting to see the Twins new home and how it plays differently to Metrodome. Defense in the OF will be significantly better, thats for sure lol.

Randy Wolf is the key to the Brewers season. Book it.

Reading that the Reds are trying to trade Aaron Miles and Wladimir Balentin. Aroldis Chapman was also assigned to Triple A-Louisville today. Chapman was impressive this spring, way better than I thought he'd be, but he's still got a ways to go.

Samuel Gervacio is awesome.
He has the best wind up in the MLB right now.

This wasn't posted here but I found it out today...

Matt Cain got married recently =)

And the Giants roster is basically decided. Buster Posey will see time in AAA Fresno Grizzlies to start the season but he'll get time throughout the year.

Am I the only one who doesn't see him panning out as a starter? I think he'll end up being much better as a reliever. IDK right now, just a bit of a gut feeling. I hope not because I'd like to see Cincy succeed and they'd have a pretty killer rotation if he works out.

Knowing that Samuel Gervacio has the creepiest wind up is the best thing that has happened this spring.

HOUSTON -- The Toronto Blue Jays signed outfielder Adam Lind to a four-year, US$18-million contract Saturday.

The deal runs through the 2013 season with club options for 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Lind, 26, hit .305 last season with 35 home runs and 114 RBI. The six-foot-one, 215-pound Lind was named both a Silver Slugger Award winner and recipient of the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter award.

Since being selected by Toronto in the third round of the 2004 first-year player draft, Lind has appeared in 346 games over four seasons for the Blue Jays, posting a .287 average with 84 doubles, 57 home runs and 208 RBI.

Good signing.
