It Begins

Catchers and pitchers report to camp today and Chad Jennings has a great writeup on the pitchers that will be in attendance. He does a particularly good job in speculating where each player will ultimately end up (e.g. roles, level).

Based on recent reports that I’ve read, including CJ’s assessment, I feel as though the Yankees are going to churn out relievers by the dozen—now and in the future—and while some may read that as a “knock” against the team’s young “starters,” producing quality relievers is obviously not a bad thing (not by any means).

Also, if you’re still looking for a ST fix, check out RotoAuthority’s entertaining “Spring Training Cliches” (via MLBTR), as it’s a good summation of notorious, reoccurring stories that appear with every new year (the “I’m in the best shape of my life” guy, the yoga lover, etc.).
