1.Scott Boras says Johnny Damon will sign by May 1
Boras说Damon五月一号前会签约，只是还不知道跟谁签。Boras说要签Damon的球队
一年至少必须给他450个打数才行。
Damon is looking for at least 450 plate appearances, which would be enough to
get him at least 100 hits closer to 3,000. Damon is sitting at 2,723 hits right
now.

2.勇士确定将开季的先发ss交给新秀Tyler Pastornicky
Pastornicky rarely strikes out and has very good speed, which should enable him
to post a solid batting average, but expecting him to hit .300-plus is
obviously wishful thinking and his lack of power and patience are definitely
weaknesses. Of course, the Braves lived with Gonzalez’s brutal .277 on-base
percentage and measly .377 slugging percentage for the past season-and-a-half,
so as long as Pastornicky plays good defense, steals some bases, and hits some
singles they’ll probably be happy.
自从Furcal离开后，勇士游击的洞就一直补不起来。

3.Ubaldo Jimenez说他不该被禁赛五场，他也不会跟Tulo道歉
Hit by pitches happen every day in the game. It’s not a surprise that somebody
gets hit, especially a guy like him. You have to try to go inside on him. …
I said already that I didn’t mean to hit him. It was a pitch that got away.
I had five walks in the game. I was everywhere.
Jimemez：我不是故意要K Tulo，塞内角不小心K到人的事情在球场上天天都在发生。
我那场比赛丢了五个保送，说明我那天是真的控球不好。
对于Jim Tracy说Jimenez的行为是俗仔，Jimenez做出以下回应
"I can’t control what people say. People act like this is the first time
that somebody got hit. It happens in the game. That’s part of the game.
It’s always been part of the game."

5.Aroldis Chapman is staying in the Reds’ bullpen
红人决定还是暂时将古巴火球先留在牛棚。
Aroldis Chapman spent all offseason and the first month of spring training
preparing for a potential move to the rotation, but with Opening Day right
around the corner the Reds have decided to keep the flame-throwing
left-hander in the bullpen.

6.Royals still haven’t named a closer
距离Soria受伤过了两周时间，皇家依然未决定开季CL是谁。
原本预期接手的人选会从Jonathan Broxton及Greg Holland当中挑一个。
但总教练Yost昨天却说“sees no reason to designate a closer.”
（不知道为什么一定要指定closer）。
Yost stressed that he “has time to think it through” and indicated that he
may chose to begin the season without “defined” roles for everyone
皇家后援委员会即将成立。
