MLB: Spring Training-Philadelphia Phillies at Toronto Blue Jays

Nick Castellanos homered yesterday.

Kyle Schwarber homered as well.

Yesterday was a good day.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

There is a tough decision looming for the Phillies at third base, one that could have repercussions for a while.
Opening the season with thirteen games is going to be a “battle of attrition” according to Joe Girardi.
The best seat in the house for the Phillies? Why that belongs not to the manager, but to Nick Castellanos ($).

MLB news:

The Twins are collecting as many arms as possible, signing Chris Archer to a one year deal to help with rotation depth.
Jim Bowden ($) gives his offseason grades for all thirty teams (the Phillies did pretty well).
The Diamondbacks are keeping a major piece around for a while longer, signing Ketel Marte to a five-year contract extension.
The Reds, even in their diminished state, are going to be missing two of their bigger arms to start the season.
