What is the story about?
Today
is the last day where all players will be in camp before many depart for the WBC and prepare for the tournament. That means we’re about to see a lot of minor league pitching taking the mound, which could lead to some interesting scores in the upcoming weeks.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- It’s great that we have good beat writers covering the Phillies, but it’s always fun when a national reporter picks up a story, like this interview with Alec Bohm done by Ken Rosenthal ($).
- Taijuan Walker still has his good move on pickoffs. He’s getting ready to help Mexico in the WBC ($).
- Shane Victorino, the team’s center fielder from the glory days, is helping the next center fielder get ready for new glory days ($).
MLB news:
- Bruce Froemming, one of the umpires that we could probably name at any point when watching a game, passed away at the age of 86.
- Konnor Griffin is a name you’re going to hear a lot of in the next few weeks. Is he the next superstar in MLB?
- Each participant is hoping to win the WBC, but which player for each squad is going to be their “X-factor” to actually claiming victory?
