       Law thinks he can play second base, but he couldn't be a CF.

       Todd Walker also could "play second base."  He just couldn't
       play it well enough that a good team with any real options would
       actually want him there.  For second basemen to be serious
       assets when they do not player their position well, they need
       not to hit like Todd Walker (or Ian Happ), but like Rogers
       Hornsby.  And Ian Happ is never in his best year going to match
       what Hornsby did in even his worst full season as a major league
       regular.

       Rondon got pulled after two hitters yesterday.  That appeared to
       have been a planned switch, Davis then got the third out.  I'd
       wondered if there was an injury or something, but appeared to be
       all scheduled and planned.
       Rondon looks kinda heavy these days.

       Yeah, thought so too. Didn't throw that well either. Think maybe
       a cause for concern considering was a non-factor in post-season
       too.

       Craig-I said the same thing about the weight when I saw Rondon
       last night...

       Cubs Related podcast was talking about him.  They were going
       over his appearance in the WBC.  His slider had lost almost all
       of it movement, it didn't act that way when he came back from
       injury last year.  The velocity was good.  They basically
       thought it was more of a command issue and that he should bounce
       back, but with relievers there is never a guarantee...

       Yeah, I said that three weeks ago.  Definitely looks
       Panda-esque.

       Chesny Young, who had 5 HR's in his 3 minor-league seasons, hit
       his 3rd of camp.
