RHP Joe Biagini may have a big role for TOR this season. The question is: Which one? Also: BAL shortstop less than "hardy;" in BOS, a catcher battle; in NYY, Bird's value may soar; in TAM, Franklin may not fit.
With multiple spots up for grabs, who are the favorites to break spring training in the Brewers rotation? Also: CHC's 5th starter outlook, CIN's catcher contingencies, bench bats in PIT, and the STL bullpen.
A few veterans and a new arrival from the KBO vie for 3B at-bats in the Giants infield, plus the Rockies catching situation, shortstops in San Diego, the D-Backs' rotation and the Dodgers bullpen.
The Twins rotation was the league's worst in 2016. Could Jose Berrios, he of the 8.02 ERA last year, make the necessary adjustments to be a part of a team rebound? Plus, more analysis of the AL Central.

The trade of Brandon Phillips has opened up second base for Jose Peraza. Plus, a review of offseason moves and position battles to watch in spring training across the NL Central.
With a number of options in the Dodgers OF, who has the inside track for playing time? Plus a look at the 2B situation in San Diego, bullpen in Arizona, and filling out the starting rotations in both San Francisco and Colorado.
TAM's Mallex Smith and TOR's Steve Pearce are among those who warrant watching this spring. Also: Mancini's battle for AB in BAL, the back-of-the-rotation quandary in BOS and what the verdict on Judge may be in NYY.
