Cole Hamels is likely to miss a few April starts due to shoulder tendinitis that has kept him from his throwing program. Plus Burnett, Karns/Lobaton, and more.
Most bullpens in the AL Central will look significantly different in 2014. New closers take up residence in Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago. Seventh and eighth inning options will also have new looks across the division.
With the exception of Jason Castro in HOU, fantasy owners have no clear paths to 2014 profitability with AL West catchers. And even Castro comes with some risk.
Ryan Cook and others saw their immediate outlooks dimmed with their teams' winter moves and announcements. But there are good reasons to remember Cook and these other AL West names.
As spring training draws near, we take a look at center field in Cincinnati, first base in Milwaukee, 1B/RF in Pittsburgh, and some back end of the rotation spots.
