Forget the calendar.
Spring starts today.
Baseball is back.
The Phillies are in Atlanta. And you might need a scorecard to keep tabs on all the new faces.
Start at the top. This team is going to be different. That's because it's manager is different. Gabe Kaplan doesn't follow the "book."
He will make some odd moves. The will flop outfield positions in mid-inning to take advantage of a player's fielding skills.
I'm going to set the line on wins for this team at 80. They should score runs, with what looks like a very good offensive lineup.
Whether or not they have enough arms is the question, as it almost always in.
Aaron Nola gets the call today. Jake Arrieta should rack up a ton of innings.
Kapler also headed north with no less than nine relief pitchers.
Going to be some long nights on the deck!
Bring on summer!
