The afternoon got understandably derailed by the Bryce Harper signing and the 13-year(!) contract the Phillies gave him. It was very hard to keep in mind that the Cubs were playing a Spring Training game (baby, woo, yeah!).
Kyle Hendricks made his spring debut, doing what he always does:
Two efficient innings for Kyle Hendricks: 23 pitches (18 strikes). Second inning featured three balls on the ground (4-3, infield single, 5-4-3 GIDP). Five first-pitch strikes to seven batters faced. pic.twitter.com/MGzRrOjMX8

Great stuff from W.Contreras today. Will feature him on ABC Ch. 7 news later today.He's 'loading' earlier as he thinks he was behind on a lot of pitches last season.And he's adjusted his catching/framing a little. Said his brother pointed out he needed to turn his glove pre-pitch
