That is the strange part. If you just go by the numbers, it looks like he is having a killer spring, but if you read into the comments to the media, all you hear is about how his swing looks off, he is making too many careless misplays, his head is not in the game. He has one option left, but I still think he starts the year in CF for the Rangers.

I can't believe I actually got sniped on Juan Freakin' Uribe. Had a whole line about him being the "Cardboard Standup" for the rest of my infield.



16.07 - Bogart - Mitch Moreland - 1B

I have a sneaky feeling he is going to have a very solid season, and might spend some time at 3B and the OF.

"Sunny Spring for Julio"I think he'll be ok. To be honest, all I'm looking for is 400 PA's of respectable bat average and plus defense. If he gives me lead-off CF numbers, that's just gravy.

Should be a nice defensive back-up for Ruiz and is not horrible at the plate.

Thanks. I was actually hopeing Arencibia made it back to me. Given that very few if any catchers are going to get enough at bats to fill a season I think catcher is getting super thin at this point. There will have to be a lot of guessing on who is going to get those backup plate apperances in the rounds to come.

Alex Gordon

Damn. Was hoping to get Gordon with my next pick. He actually had a pretty decent OF rating last year and could still maybe provide some pop/obp.
