Leading Off

 

We may not have had any games yet, but there has been enough news trickling from Sarasota to make us believe that Spring Training is happening. Dan Duquette has made a number of minor league signings, but nothing in the way of his signature February “big get.” The players would remind you that Matt Wieters is still on the market. We’ll continue to be skeptical.

The Medical Wing

We plum forgot this staple of Bird’s Eye View in last week’s episode. You’ll have to excuse us, we’ve only been doing this for five years, how are we expected to remember these things?

This week, the Medical Wing is occupied by:

* Chris Tillman – shoulder

* J.J. Hardy – back spasms

* Logan Ondrusek – ankle
