No Spring Training for me this year. Unfortunately, due to concerns about traveling right now, I won’t be heading to Arizona as previously planned. It sucks, because it’s one of my favorite times every year, but I just don’t want to risk getting stuck somewhere or, worse, bringing anything back with me.
And if you consider people like me a bellwether, I think you can expect a sharp uptick in people cancelling travel and events in the coming days and weeks. This is probably going to cause major disruptions in the months ahead, and I’m increasingly trying to figure out how this won’t impact the baseball season in a number of unhappy ways.

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks with @Bernstein_McK: "There's just a new energy in camp this year. Honestly, a lot of it has to do with David Ross. Just what he's brought already, his energy, his passion, his focus on the details. … Guys have really been taking it to heart."

Interesting . . . Kohl Franklin, Ryan Jensen, Christopher Morel. Put them ahead of Chase Strumpf, who has more floor but less ceiling. @Cubs #Top30Prospects https://t.co/2oyWNa1hf4

I didn't read too much into DSL stats. You can make a case for Pinango, but there was more support for Morel, who also has the infielder > outfield advantage. @Cubs #Top30Prospects https://t.co/ykfyLo9Ng6

I could see the @Cubs going slow with Jensen and starting him, McAvene, Franklin and Clarke in low A. Gallardo stays in extended spring, I think, before heading to short-season ball. #Top30Prospects https://t.co/UzmMeOhLT0

I think the @Cubs' hope on both is that they develop enough as hitters to get a lot out of their raw power, and that they clean up their receiving go with their strong arms behind the plate. They're both everyday catchers if that happens. #Top30Prospects https://t.co/dKwKzIfTp4

Amaya. He's obviously had much more of a chance to develop but he's an advanced defender and I think he'll provide some offense too. @Cubs #Top30Prospects https://t.co/GKKpNOIoRb
