Nick Williams, we picked him up around same time as cespedes. He had some decent success hitting years ago when he first came up then fell off a clip. But sox paid him a decent amount (900k) so they clearly saw some talent there.

Also, a second round pick of the Rangers in 2012.  I saw him play yesterday (?).  He looks pretty athletic.  A Boras Corp. client who'll make $900K if he makes the squad.

Former top prospect of the Phillies,  Was the main piece in the Hamels trade when he was traded to the Rangers.

Today is only slated for 5 innings, correct? Or is this one with 6 innings?

Six.

Looking forward to seeing Lucroy, wonder if he will be Lucas' new personal catcher.

Me too.  Looking forward to see his PA's; hopefully a free & easy swing.

This cannot happen at all. I don't know about you but I don't want to see Lucroy in the lineup multiple times in the ALCS and WS.

Let’s call Chris Widger.

Agreed that personal catchers are stupid.  He needs to get used to Grandal.  And I expect he will.

I don’t think there is anything to see here with Lucroy, grandal tweeked his knee the other day, he will be catching Gio not Lucroy 

Is there a stream for this game?

It's on NBC Sports Chicago

Looks like it’s not on MLB Network in California... only Texas and Chicago.

So I signed up for MLB.Tv by way of my Apple TV on a 7 day free trial... which really registered in my iTunes account as a month trial. ( cool )

So when March 30th rolls around, I plan to get a T-Mobile account holding friend get me a free year of access.

Score.

Wanted to lay this out for anyone who may benefit from it.
