Maybe, but whether due to artificial drags on the marketplace or a newfound sense of prudence, I'm not sure the baseball world defaults to big contracts = New York Yankees anymore.

Ynoa what it's like when your last name is last in alphabetical order, and by the time the teacher calls on you, class is almost over? That's me. My name is Gabriel Ynoa, and by the time you hear this message I will have already been farmed out. But ynoa what? That's OK. I come from a heckuva crop of strong second tier prospects, with my boy Hansel and my girl Rainy (just kidding, Rainy), and Luis Cessa and Luis Mateo, and Julian Hilario, and we all came up together. But there's been various developmental bumps and injuries (sorry, Luis), and I'm kinda ahead of them now, and hope to be the first to bigs. What do you think my 2015 looks like? Thank you all for playing Forecasts for Fifteen.

That's spectacular. I hope Colon takes him down. Michael Taylor, according to reports, will be the Nats center fielder, with Werth and Harper swapping positions.

A lot of baseball yet to play. Possibly a few championships. Some grafted ligaments. Maybe a broken femur. A handful of underwear models. A few Qualcomm pitches. That embarrassing thing with the girl from The Sunglasses Hut back in 2017. It's hard enough predicting 2015.

I would think they mean more in the aggregate.

Another 1 2/3 innings scoreless from Gilmartin. His earlier turd appearances keep his ERA inflated, but this guy is looks like a lock for the team, however much wishful thinking must be attached to that.

Yeah, Juan Lagares says different, as his home run chases Tanaka.

I think he's more likely to hurt himself in the act of being David Wright. By which I mean he'll pull something going out there when something is barking and he should be taking a day, because he's got to be there for his team and such. It's happened before, certainly.

No doubt. You can also get it relatively early from MLB Gameday, but you can't do the easy copy/paste thing there. Mayboomy.

Hey, Headley tied it up. BOOOO!!!!

I just search for "Tigers" + "Lineup" on the Twitter. Some fool is out there racing to be the first to tweet it.

Mets break to the early lead over the Yankees for the second straight time on the strength of the bat and wheels of Juan Lagares. This time he doubled, stole third, and scored on a throwing error by catcher John Ryan Murphy. Laggy on his way to gaining for himself as Most Hated Met status in Yankee circles. METS!

"Nice of you to show up, Magellan." Cubs pitcher Edwin Jackson winds up at wrong Spring Training park, misses start PHOENIX - Some pitchers have trouble finding the plate. Edwin Jackson of the Chicago Cubs had a much bigger problem: He couldn't find the ballpark. Jackson missed his spring training start Tuesday against the A's when he drove to the wrong stadium. Fitting, too -- he once walked eight batters in a no-hitter, and has never been known for great location. Jackson took the blame for this errant wind-up. The 31-year-old veteran said he typed "Oakland Athletics spring training complex" into the Google Maps app on his phone and it directed him to Phoenix Municipal Stadium. Too bad for Jackson, he didn't realize Oakland no longer played there. Instead, the A's moved out after last spring and now host games about 5 miles away at Hohokam Stadium. "It was my fault for not looking to see where it was," Jackson said. Phoenix Muni, as the ballpark is called, is the current base for the Arizona State Sun Devils college team. So Jackson headed to Hohokam, which was the Cubs' longtime spring home. He eventually got to the right place, not that it helped him. He entered the game in the second inning and was tagged for eight runs and nine hits in only 1 2-3 innings of a 14-2 loss. Jackson joins an ever-growing list of ballplayers to get lost. A few years ago, a couple Cincinnati Reds went to Yankee Stadium when their game against the New York Mets was really at Citi Field. Roger Clemens once got mixed up trying to find Montreal's spring stadium in West Palm Beach, Florida. And perhaps Braves pitcher Pascual Perez faced the toughest jam. In 1982, after getting his driver's license earlier in the day, he famously spent two hours on I-285 circling the city, unable to figure out how to exit to Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. Jackson said his late arrival didn't cause his lousy results. "I was already dressed and got here in time to get ready, but they didn't want me to rush things," he said. "I came to the stadium with the mindset of being ready. It was a crazy way to start the day."

Joaquin debuted on the same day as Lucas Duda, playing left field as Duda's defensive replacement. You know a team doesn't have high hopes for your fielding when they pull you for a defensive sub in your major league debut.

Looks like we've got wide open-ness in the bullpen. I'm returning Goeddel there for the time being, but he's certainly still got his fight on his hands. The reality is that he's sitting in the driver's seat because adding Thornton to the roster or switching Montero to the bullpen takes a philosophical commitment on the part of management that they don't have to make with Goeddel, but that's only going to be a bump for so long. Check out Dan Warthan and Tim Teufel, shopping for eyeware together.

Getting screened NOW!!!!

I notice I'm a popular pick for "Key Met." Well with my Tidewater homey and my healthy hammy (to say nothing of the shoulder), I like to think I'm your man. Easier access to right-center field makes me happier too. I'm just all about the optimism for 2015. What do you think goes down?

Taylor Buchholz? Joaquin Arias? Anybody?

"Satty." In the great tradition of all ballfield nicknames created by affixing a diminutive -y to the first syllable of your name, Cody Satterwhite goes by "Satty."

Torres gives up a pair and the Astros go ahead in the eighth. I bet Buzzy's happy!

Todd Zeile, bringing the hi tech.

Ruh-roh. Thorton gives up a homer to Marisnick, and the Tralfazes are within one.

Houston breaks through for one in the fifth against Buddy. Alvarez follows up with a scoreless frame and his ERA is down to six.
