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.

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.
