Today at Oriole Park, they officially named the press box after dear friend Jim Henneman. He is one of the best baseball writers ever. No writer understands the playing of the game better than Henny. Congrats!!!

The great Earl Weaver once told me that he would take “all shortstops” in the June draft “because they’re the best athletes on the field, they can play anywhere.” There were shortstops all over the field this morning in SD-LA game.

It’s nearly certain that Gerrit Cole and Blake Snell won’t start Opening Day. The last time the reigning Cy Young winners did not start Opening Day was 2005 (Clemens-Santana). Before that was 1982 (Valenzuela-Fingers, a reliever).

Mookie Betts moving from RF to SS - since 1900, two players have played 70 games at SS after playing 100+ games in the OF the prior season: Tom Tresh (1968) and Tony Womack (2000). Chris Taylor calls Betts “the best athlete I’ve ever played with.”

Saw the Yankees. A rival exec is worried that with Juan Soto and improved health, the Yankees might score 250 more runs than they did last year. Whoa. Six teams since 1900 have done that, the last being the 1977 White Sox.
