Carlos Cprtes could be the perfect example of a guy who we need to not look at his last minor league results on....18 months have passed and maybe he's done what he's had to do to continue to get much better. He sure is hitting well in Aussie Land.

Good to know Tommy Milone and Jed Lowrie are still available free agents.

Juan's fine winter league play got him...a minor league deal with the Angels. Big difference between winter ball pitching and the big leagues.

Someone made a point that with the Angels signing Lagares, their other center fielder might be available...
