    I think you got a hell of a team. Steals on the 2 Dodgers. Billingsley and Loney are gonna tear it up this year.


    What round and pick did Kemp go?

    Pick 78 in Round 8...I was contemplating between him or Pence in Round 8. I chose Pence with the 75th pick.

    Thanks Coach...I also think I got a steal in the last round with Saltalamacchia, if he can win the starting job. It's only a 10-team league, so there are plenty of other catchers out there if he doesn't. If he wins the job, I think he can rake in that ballpark.

    He'll see alot of time at 1B and DH as well. One way or another, he'll get his AB's. I think he can be pretty solid, too.

    Billingsley went 12-5 with a 3.31 ERA last year, his second in the major leagues. "I've faced him since I was 18 years old," Braves right fielder Jeff Francoeur said of Billingsley. "I've said since the first time I faced him that he was going to be a big-time pitcher. And he already is. Have you seen his legs? One of his legs is bigger than both of mine."

    One NL West manager said last season that "Billingsley will be the best pitcher in our division" within two years. That's some statement, given that Jake Peavy and Brandon Webb also pitch in the division.

    SALTY TO MINORS? (10:43 a.m. ET)
    The key player acquired by the Rangers in last year's blockbuster trade that sent slugger Mark Teixeira to Atlanta might be starting this season in the minors.

    Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said he thinks he's heading to the minors, even though he has a higher batting average (.276 vs. .263) and on-base percentage (.300 vs. .282) this spring than the player he's competing with for the Rangers' starting spot.

    "I think there are only two scenarios that can happen," Saltalamacchia said, according to the Dallas Morning. "Either they trade [Laird] or I go to Oklahoma. And I don't think they are trading him."

    Because he has a minor league option left, Saltalamacchia is likely to lose a close battle with Laird.

    "Look, I think we've both had very good springs," he said, according to the Dallas Morning News. "I think we've both done all that has been asked of us. I don't think I need to be at Triple-A, but at the same time, if they want us both to play every day, well ..."
    Ah, crap.

    I thought so too, but Salty might be headed to Oklahoma...meaning I have to find a catcher. Maybe John Buck will finally turn the corner...

    He did turn the corner...he just got 1/2 the ABs he needed because Buddy had a boner for LaRue.

    Doesn't make sense. Salty and Laird are the only two catchers on the roster. I don't understand why Washington would send Salty down instead of platooning him with Laird at C and Broussard at 1B and a little DH.
