An interesting mix for a Sunday.
From Comcast SportsNet
- Albert Almora is already a natural leader in the Cubs' system.
- Meanwhile, fellow prospect Kris Bryant is ignoring the hype.
- Travis Wood was the team's best starter last year. And he's refusing to get complacent.
- Rick Renteria knows all about proving people wrong.
From Cubs Den
- Kyle Hendricks is a man with a plan.
- Some Cub notes look at projections, prospects, Darwin Barney, and whether the Cubs would really move.
- The position previews continue at first base with a look at Anthony Rizzo.
- EconoBall looks at the value of strikeouts to a pitcher.
From Cubs.com
- Ryan Kalish is more appreciative of what he has now that he has another shot with the Cubs. Did you know he had the same surgery as Peyton Manning?
From ESPNChicago.com
- The countdown to camp looks at the bench.
- Former Cub Adrian Cardenas is looking for a new field of dreams.
Miscellaneous
- Three additional spring-training games will be on TV in markets outside Chicago, carried by the other team's channel: 3/3 vs. Brewers (FSN Wisconsin), 3/12 vs. Mariners (ROOT Sports Seattle) and 3/14 vs. Dodgers (SportsNet LA).
Today's food for thought
- This is an interesting look at the most important in the evolution of life.
- Or you may prefer to look at the design flaws of the human body.
