       caleb smith gives up HR's to the first two guys he faces.  Not
       sure he's making the team.  Maybe if he has a lousy camp, it
       will be easier for Yankees to let him go, and after some
       minor-league time he'll turn into a usable yo-yo.

       Craig, Almora is going to be a great test case for your "home
       runs come largely from simply making solid contact" hypothesis.

       Almora pulled for Hannemann before his first PA.

       Looks like Heyward has already tinkered with his new swing.
       Different starting point here, but he destroyed the ball.

       Fangraphs' first playoff odds are out.  They have the Cubs at
       88.8% to win the division, 96.4% to make the playoffs, and 17.4%
       to win the World Series (best World Series percentage in
       baseball; Cleveland is second at 14.9%).
