Ten Players Who Need to Have a Good 2016 Season
Each and every season, there are always players with something to prove. Whether they're looking to show that they can play at a competitive level that they've never lived up to; looking to show that they can be the dominant player they once were; or simply are looking for a good year for their team to have a successful year — there are numerous players that you could categorize as having a very important season coming up when things begin in around a month.
With all of that said, not every player that needs a good 2016 season is on the list I put together below. I can think of a couple dozen players that arguably need to post solid numbers in 2016, but I couldn't include them all, and had to make some difficult exclusions. Just the opposite, there could be a few players on my list that you don't think need a good season. Either way, this is just a list of ten players — not necessarily the "top ten" — that I feel need a good 2016 season for one reason or another:
1) Giancarlo Stanton
In 2015, Giancarlo Stanton got off to a superstar start. Blasting 27 home runs in his first 74 games, Stanton posted numbers equal to what you would expect out of a player with a 325 million dollar contract. However, things quickly came to a halt for yet another season when Stanton suffered an injury that would see him missing the remainder of the year. While Stanton's ability to put up historic numbers is absolutely there (Stanton holds 50+ homer potential), he needs to stay on the field in order to produce in historic fashion. With the Marlins standing the slightest of chances to compete with the division favorite rival Nationals and Mets, they need every single player on their roster performing to the best of their ability, and that includes Stanton more than anyone else.
2) Jonathan Papelbon
Over the course of the past few seasons, Jonathan Papelbon has very quietly remained one of the top relievers in baseball, and he had a great season in 2015. For that reason, poor stats aren't the reason Papelbon needs a good year in 2016; it's his personality that needs to become part of the past. Quite simply, Papelbon can be a distraction to any team he's on, and has had his share of controversy over his career. The biggest example of that came just last season, when a dugout altercation between Papelbon and Bryce Harper ended up seeing Papelbon's hands around Harper's neck. Therefore, although he is a valuable part of the Nationals' bullpen, with a 2.13 ERA last season, Papelbon needs a good, drama-free upcoming season to put the past in the past for good.
3) Yu Darvish
When Yu Darvish came to the United States for the 2012 season, he had a ton of hype hung over him as to the kind of pitcher he was back in Japan. In his rookie season, Darvish lived up to the high praise, and was even better in 2013. But after another great season in 2014, Darvish was shut down due to an arm injury which resulted in a subsequent Tommy John surgery that kept him out of the Rangers' rotation all of last season. With that said, Darvish appears to have successfully rehabbed from the surgery and should help out the Rangers a great deal once he returns around May. After amazingly squeaking their way into the postseason last year, if the Rangers can get a fully healthy Darvish that performs the way he did to begin his career, they could be looking at a special season.
4) Ryan Howard
Of all of the players on my list, Ryan Howard is the only player who was on my 2015 version of this blog post. But he may also be the one who needs a good season the most — for his sake alone. Howard is essentially the last remaining player of what was once a Phillies dynasty that included the likes of Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and Cole Hamels, but he is most likely in his final season in Philly. With a vast number of talented youngsters in the minors just a season or two away from cracking the big leagues, this very well could be the last shot for Howard to prove that he can still perform at a high level. Although he hit 23 homers last season, he has failed to hit 30 or more since back in 2011. The Phillies aren't predicted to do much this coming season, but hopefully Ryan Howard will emerge as the bright spot.
5) Pablo Sandoval
In Pablo Sandoval's six full seasons with the Giants, he was one of the top slugging third basemen in baseball. For that reason, the Red Sox locked him up on a 5-year, 95 million dollar contract beginning last season, but he failed to live up to expectations. In 2015, Sandoval recorded a career low in batting average, RBI's and home runs, leaving many looking for him to take things up a notch this season. But after reporting to Spring Training in subpar shape, your guess is as good mine for how Sandoval will fare in 2016. Perhaps 2015 was a mere fluke and Sandoval will return to his former All-Star self. Only time will truly tell if he can make the last four years of his contract worth the Red Sox while. But with the Red Sox looking to make another playoff push in 2016, Sandoval needs to be a big part of their team.
6) Yoenis Cespedes
A quick glimpse at Yoenis Cespedes's stats from 2015 would undoubtedly leave you wondering how I could place him on a list of players who need a good season this coming year. Hitting .291 with 35 home runs and 105 RBI's last year, there's absolutely nothing more that could be asked of Cespedes; especially from the Mets, who acquired Cespedes for the second half and proceeded to make a run to the World Series. Even so, he needs a really good year equal to his most recent one for the Mets to hold off the Nationals, who, despite losing some key pieces, will still likely be very competitive this year. Without Cespedes and his superstar numbers, the Mets still hold a good chance at another playoff run. But with him performing well, it's all but a guarantee in the minds of many.
7) Shelby Miller
As with Yoenis Cespedes, Shelby Miller had a career year in 2015, but still managed to make his way onto my list. After a few under the radar seasons with the Cardinals, Miller proceeded to breakout as one of the best young starters in all of baseball last season. Posting a 3.02 ERA over 33 starts, Miller found himself as a very valuable asset — so much so that he was traded for 2015 number one overall draft pick Dansby Swanson during the offseason. Joining fellow newcomer, Zack Greinke, in the Diamondbacks' rotation, there are a lot of expectations out of the D-backs in 2016. Thus, Miller needs to post numbers similar to — if not better than — the ones he recorded last year. If he can do that alongside Greinke, the D-backs could be in for a major turnaround in Phoenix.
8) CC Sabathia
The past three seasons have been fairly rough for CC Sabathia. Posting the best ERA of those seasons this past year of 4.73 is enough to prove just how bad things have been (not even including his off-the-field battles). However, there is seemingly hope for Sabathia in 2016, with many people even going as far as to envision him becoming the comeback player of the year. That doesn't mean there isn't a lot of uncertainty moving forward for Sabathia, though. At 35 years old, and with his best numbers likely in the past, Sabathia is in need of a good season to get his career back on track. The Yankees actually have a fairly good team heading into this season, but it is going to take a team effort, including solid numbers from Sabathia, for them to get any sort of postseason run together.
9) Wil Myers
Going from former first round draft pick and top five prospect in all of baseball to an injury-plagued player who has yet to live up fully to the type of numbers many predicted he would post, Wil Myers needs a fully healthy 2016 to show what he's truly capable of. Myers showed a glimpse at his potential back when he first came up in 2013 with the Rays, going on to win the Rookie of the Year award, and theoretically has 30+ homer power, if he can only find a way to tap into it. This season with the Padres, Myers is making the switch to first base full time, so hopefully some stability will allow him to get into the zone for the length of the season. Having yet to play even 100 games in a single season over his career, Myers could finally break through if he can simply play the majority of games this coming year.
10) Matt Moore
Possessing all the talent in the world, this is a make-or-break season for Matt Moore in my mind. Although he has shown flashes of greatness over his career, Moore suffered an arm injury that lead to him having to undergo Tommy John surgery in 2014. Following his return this past season, Moore was a bit shaky, posting a 5.43 ERA on the year and spending a good bit of time down in the minor leagues in an attempt to re-establish his dominance. The Rays need him to return to form in order for Tampa to compete in the strong American League East division. Although not everyone sees the Rays doing much of anything in 2016, there are some who are predicting big things. For me, it all comes down to their starting pitching, with Moore being a big key to that success.
Darwin Barney Shines In Spring Training Kickoff
The first game of the 2016 Major League Baseball Spring Training month of March saw the Philadelphia Phillies taking on the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday afternoon. While these games don't count in the standings and show no definite signs of how any team will fare in the regular season, you have to figure that the Blue Jays (they won 5-2) are headed for another postseason run, with Philadelhia on the flip side still in the process of rebuilding.
Even so, if it wasn't for one player in Toronto's lineup, things may have turned out quite differently on the day. Darwin Barney is currently still batting a thousand in the books, after going 3-3 with five total RBI's for the game. Although you can't take such a quick start as a sign of things to come, especially with pitchers not at the top of their game yet, it is certainly nice to see for Barney.
After being a regular player for the Cubs from 2011 through 2013, Barney hasn't been able to stay consistent in the majors since being traded to the Dodgers in 2014. Spending nearly 100 games in the minors last season before being traded to the Blue Jays, Barney wasn't with Toronto long enough to be eligable for their postseason push, which was obviously disappointing for him.
But if game one of Spring Training is any inclination, Darwin Barney looks to be on a mission to become an everyday player again in the big leagues, with ultimate hopes of still playing big time games come October.
2016 Final MLB Standings Predictions
It's finally March 1st, which means Spring Training games are officially here.
Over the course of the next few days, each and every team around Major League Baseball will put their club on display in live games for the first time in 2016. With some teams being completely different than they were last season — some have improved, some have gotten worse — it gives fans the chance to see glimpses of what to expect and look forward to when the regular season begins next month, even though Spring games have proven to not provide much standing as to how the regular season will go.
As has been the case over the course of this blog, March also brings my predictions and overall thoughts leading up to the new year in baseball. This year will prove to be no different.
But to kick things off, I'm going to allow you, the reader, to let your opinions be known by giving you the opportunity to vote for which team you think has the best shot at winning each division. (Be sure to vote for all six, and not just the top few.) I'm going to be doing a separate couple of blog posts (one for the American League and one for the National League) on my predictions for how I feel each team will fare this season sometime in the last week of the month, but for now, I want to hear what you all think.
Cast your vote below for which team you feel is most likely to win each division in 2016:
Blogging Plans As Spring Training Games Grow Closer
With less than a week until baseball games are once again being played down in Florida and Arizona as part of Major League Baseball's annual Spring Training, the topics surrounding the coming season are growing by the day. March 1st is set to be the first of a month of matchups between teams in both the Cactus League and the Grapefruit League, and with them will inevitably come numerous takeaways and subsequent predictions regarding the 2016 regular season.
As a baseball fan, I myself have several predictions of my own for what I feel will unfold over the course of this season. Although some of those things will undoubtedly fail to come true, I still find it enjoyable to lay out some of my thoughts this time of year as to what's to come. With that in mind, I thought I'd discuss a brief overview of what's to come from this blog as the season inches closer over this final month.
Although a lot of the things I write about will be related to news that is impossible to foresee, the first post of the month is going to give the readers a chance to let their opinions be known. As I've done for the past several seasons, I'll be uploading a post with polls that let you all vote for which team you feel stands the best chance at winning each division in 2016. It's always fun to see what people from around the baseball world have to say regarding those polls.
Once that is up, I'll be publishing a blog post revealing the players who are likely to reach a home run milestone in the coming season, which winds up being an interesting post to look at in order to see what to look forward to from some talented players in the year to come. In addition, I plan to publish two more interviews at some point in the first and last weeks of the month, with both of them being with really talented pitchers; as well as a post on my own predictions for each team individually, regarding their fate in the standings at season's end.
However, while all of those posts are planned out, as previously stated, the majority of the things I write about in March will simply be about whatever is going on around baseball at that point in time. Like the coming season, anything can truly happen.
Q and A With Scooter Gennett
Scooter Gennett was drafted by the Brewers in the 16th round of the 2009 draft, after hitting .470 his senior year at Sarasota High School.
Making a steady climb through the minors from 2010 through 2013 — including an appearance in the 2012 Futures Game in Kansas City — Gennett debuted at the big league level in June of 2013. By batting .324 with 6 homers and 21 RBI's over 69 games his rookie year, Gennett set himself up nicely to be a big part of the Brewers moving forward.
Gennett once again had a solid year in 2014, where he hit 9 home runs with the Brewers to go along with 54 RBI's. However, this past year not everything went quite as smoothly as the previous two seasons for Gennett, with him hitting a few rough spots throughout the year.
Following an unfortunate freak injury to begin the season, Gennett proceeded to produce subpar numbers for the Brewers, leading to him being sent down to the minors midseason. But despite the setback, Gennett was quickly brought back up to finish out the end of the year in Milwaukee, and wound up with 6 homers and 29 RBI's for the season.
While 2015 was a somewhat down year for Scooter Gennett, he should see a bounce back to his former self in 2016. If everything goes as planned, he is likely to be the everyday second baseman for the Brewers all of this upcoming season.
Scooter Gennett — second baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers — took the time recently to answer some of my questions:
1.) At what age did you first become interested in baseball? Who was your biggest baseball influence growing up?
I got into baseball when I was 2 years old. My dad and I would play all the time, and he started teaching me everything about the game. I'd say he was my biggest influence in the sense that he taught me everything I know.
2.) Who was your favorite baseball player growing up? Why?
My favorite baseball player was always Barry Larkin. As a small kid growing up in Cincinnati, I admired how he played the game. He was a professional and took the time to say hi to young kids like myself. I really respected him for that.
3.) You were drafted by the Brewers in the 16th round of the 2009 draft. What was that process like for you? Where were you when you first found out? Initial thoughts?
Well, to be honest, I thought I would have gone sooner. So as an 18 year old, I was pretty upset [laughs]. But I was with my family and girlfriend (now wife) at our house listening to the whole draft on a laptop. Once I finally heard my name, I was excited and just ready to get my career started.
4.) Your official full name is Ryan Joseph Gennett, but are known as Scooter around the baseball world. While you've told the story a few times before, for those who don't know, briefly retell how you received the nickname Scooter that has stuck with you ever since.
I was a bad kid and didn't listen very often, especially in the car. I would always undo my car seat belt while my mom was driving, so she would have to stop the car and get out. One day she wanted to teach me a lesson on seatbelt safety and scare some sense into me. So when I was like 4 years old she pulled into a police station where an officer came over to talk to me. When the officer asked me what my name was, I thought I was getting arrested so I quickly thought of an alias, Scooter Gennett, named after my favorite muppet babies character "Scooter". I didn't respond to Ryan at all for about a year after the incident, afraid that I would still get in trouble, so Scooter just stuck around.
5.) After a couple of good seasons in the minors in 2010 and 2011, you were selected to take part in the 2012 Futures Game in Kansas City. What was that experience like?
Being in the Futures Game was really a great honor. To know that I was selected to play amongst the best talent was just a really amazing feeling.
6.) Over the course of your Major League career, you've hit .307 against righties but just .123 against lefties. As a left handed batter, how do you differ your overall approach when facing southpaw pitchers? Is there anything you're working on to attempt to improve your production against lefties?
I can only hope I get the opportunity to face more lefty starters this year to show what I can do. Throughtout the minors I never had a problem with lefties, and I know I can hit them. Like anything, I just need consistent at bats against them. It's the consistency that is key.
7.) In 2015, you were placed on the disabled list early in the year, and after a somewhat poor return you were sent down to the minors for around a month before being recalled. What was your overall take regarding being sent down? Did that experience change the way you go about every day in the majors now?
Being sent down last year just really showed me to enjoy everyday in the big leagues and to do my best everyday. You really never know when your last game might be, so enjoy every moment you have playing at that level because it really is such a blessing. I wouldn't say I worked harder when I got sent down. It was just a reminder to do the very best you can everyday. That goes for life in general, also.
8.) What do you feel went well for you in 2015? What are your goals for 2016?
I feel my attitude was good in 2015, especially while getting sent down. I think that went well for me, and I am going to continue keeping a positive outlook. My goals for 2016 are just to play everyday and stay healthy!
9.) Favorite TV show? Favorite food?
I'm a Netflix guy. I watch a movie every night before bed, and I will literally give any movie a shot. As for a show I'm just now watching, 'The Bible' series on Netflix is pretty awesome. My favorite food is definitely beef tips and noodles — yummy.
10.) Lastly, what advice would you give to kids who are just starting out that dream of playing professional baseball one day?
I would tell kids that if baseball is in their heart, to never give up on their dreams. No matter how many people tell you you can't do something or you will never make it, if you want something bad enough you can achieve any goal! It's all about having faith and the right mindset.
Big thanks to Scooter Gennett for taking the time to answer my questions.

Impact Players Still Teamless As Spring 2016 Begins
Although games aren't scheduled to be played until March 1st, for every baseball fan Spring Training officially begins when pitchers and catchers first report. Five clubs saw their pitchers and catchers report on Wednesday, with the remaining teams' hurlers and backstops trickling in over the next few days, leaving every team with their respective pitchers and catchers in camp by Sunday.
Therefore, baseball is finally back.
But for a number of free agent players who have yet to find homes so far this offseason, Spring Training is going to have to wait — at least for now. Before they can report to a camp, every free agent needs to come to terms with a team that they'll wind up calling home for the 2016 season.
Given, there's still over a month until the regular season, and most if not all of the free agents will sign before too long. But time is slowly running out. With that in mind, I thought I'd go over the free agent players still on the market, position by position, who are more than capable of still helping out a big league club, but have yet to sign for one reason or another.
Beginning with the starting pitching role, the best remaining free agent starter who remains up for grabs is Yovani Gallardo. While Gallardo has been linked to talks with the Orioles, he is still technically in play for all thirty clubs. Although he isn't going to be the ace of any team's staff, Gallardo is still a really good pitcher who you can count on for numerous innings (180+ for each of the past seven seasons) and will give his team a chance to win each and every night.
Appropriately following the starting pitcher in this post is the relief pitcher, with there being several quality reliever options remaining. The one that stands out the most to me, however, is Casey Janssen. He didn't have the best season in 2015, but a three year stretch from 2011-2013 saw him as one of the best relievers in the game. With him holding a career ERA of 3.63, Janssen doesn't immediately jump off the page, but he can be an asset to a number of teams.
Justin Morneau leads the pack of available free agent first basemen. After a 17-homer season back in 2014, Morneau only played in 49 games last season due to injuries which ultimately held his numbers down. But I look for Morneau to have a bounce back season in 2016, if he can be healthy. Although his days of dominating the first base position are likely over, the days of him being a solid player definitely aren't.
At second base, the only free agent left is Dan Uggla, making him the only option to discuss. I'm not sure what the future holds for Uggla, who was once one of the best second baseman in baseball. Uggla blasted 30+ homers for five straight seasons early in his career and has been an impactful player, but he hasn't had a very productive season since 2013. However, with all of that said, Uggla could surprise some people if given a chance.
David Freese manning the hot corner is something any team would want to see, but for some reason he has yet to be signed. Freese is a reliable third baseman who you can count on year in and year out to hit double digit homers and drive in runs in the majority of key situations. After all, Freese was the reason the Cardinals survived game six of the 2011 World Series and ultimately went on to win. He falls under the low risk, high reward type of player, and would be a nice pickup for any team.
The shortstop position is currently one of the weaker spots as far as free agents is concerned, but Ian Desmond is the big player of the group. Following a somewhat mixed departure from the Nationals, where Trea Turner looks ready to take over the shortstop role, Desmond has been linked to a number of teams this offseason but has yet to land anywhere. Even so, Desmond is still a valuable player, coming just one homer shy in 2015 of a fourth straight 20+ home run year.
As far as the outfield, there are a number of above average free agents still there for the taking. Looking merely at the position as a whole — not individually at right, left and center — the the top three free agent outfielders in my mind are Austin Jackson, Dexter Fowler and Marlon Byrd. They're each mid-to-upper .200's career hitters, and each had solid 2015 campaigns. For that reason, while they still remain without a team to call home, chances are they won't be that way for long and will have some amount of impact this coming season.
Despite every position previously mentioned having players available to sign, if your favorite team is in need of a catcher, they'll have to look for other options besides free agency. There are no remaining catchers on the market, making it the only position without a single player left. However, there are more than plenty of other positions to snag above average players from that can impact any roster.
As history has shown, the majority of free agents always wind up signing with a team, even if it takes until the very last second to do so. But now that Spring Training is upon us, they no longer have the luxury of sitting back and waiting for the right offer and the right time to arrive. With spring being the time teams find themselves and form chemistry each year, the time for free agents to begin their final pushes towards signing is now.
First for Cubs: World Series or All-Star Game?
It was reported recently that Wrigley Field will be the site of the Major League Baseball All-Star game sometime in the very near future. Logic would point to them being the hosts in 2019, after the All-Star game has been on display in San Diego this season, Miami in 2017 and Washington D.C. two years down the road. However, no official announcement has been made as to the exact year the midsummer classic will be held up in Chicago.
The last time the Cubs hosted the All-Star game was back in 1990, with standout players such as Wade Boggs, Ken Griffey Jr. and Rickey Henderson, among many others, leading the American League to a 2-0 win over the National League. With such a long drought, it would seem only right that the Cubs receive another All-Star game.
Even so, as everyone around the baseball world knows, it's not the 26-year All-Star game drought that the Cubs are famous for; it's their 71-year World Series appearance drought (108 years since their last World Series title). But despite the fact that the Titanic sinking is more recent history than the last World Series Championship for the Cubs, there are many people who believe that 2016 could finally (this time for sure) be the Cubs' year.
Currently possessing an unbelievable roster — even better than the one that took them to the postseason in 2015 — the Cubs appear to be in good shape headed into this year. They added veteran John Lackey this offseason to their already good rotation of Jon Lester and Jake Arrieta. Combine that with the pickup of Jason Heyward to man the outfield, and young stars Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, Addison Russell and Anthony Rizzo looking to build on great 2015 campaigns, the Cubs are definitely a team to watch closely this coming season.
With all of their talent, however, comes the question of which is more probable to come first: a World Series Championship for the Cubs or an All-Star game at Wrigley Field?
Given that Chicago (as previously stated) won't be able to host the All-Star game until at least 2019, the Cubs have three full seasons to realize the dream that has been used as a trivia question for decades. But just getting to the Fall Classic is extremely difficult, as has been proven in the past, so your guess for which comes first is just as good as mine.
Despite all of that, I have to find myself believing in the Cubs and their chances of finally winning the World Series in the next three seasons. Sure, some of that belief may just be me as a baseball fan hoping for the Cubs to break their century-long World Series drought, but I honestly think they have a group of guys that can pull it off. Only time will tell if they win a title before they once again host an All-Star game, but after 108 years of disappointment, why can't 2016 (or 2017 . . . or 2018) be their year?
Could We See Multiple 50-Homer Players in 2016?
Ever since Babe Ruth burst onto the scene in 1919 with his single-season record breaking year of 29 home runs (more than some entire teams back then) — subsequently leading to his many superstar seasons that included 60 home runs in 1927 — baseball has been in love with the long ball. In fact, ever since 1983 there has been at least one player each and every season to hit 40 or more home runs, showing just how much baseball has come to depend on the big fly.
With 40 home runs no longer being quite the extraordinary feat that it was back when Ruth was in the middle of his Hall of Fame career — nine total players hit 40+ in 2015 — the new number of astonishment has risen to 50 or more homers in a season, which hasn't been done in the past two seasons.
The most recent player with 50 or more homers in a season was Chris Davis in 2013, when he hit 53 with the Orioles. But I feel that there is a good chance of at least one player basting 50 homers in 2016, with the slightest of chances that multiple players accomplish the feat.
While more than one player hitting 50+ home runs would seem somewhat unlikely, it's not as rare as you might think. Sure it's tough to do, but it was done as recently as 2007 when Alex Rodriguez (54 homers) and Prince Fielder (50 homers) did just that. It was also done in 2006, 2002, 2001, 1999-1996, 1961, 1947 and 1938, with four players hitting 50 or more in both 1998 and 2001.
I don't see another 1998 or 2001 on our hands, but I do feel that 2016 could become the 12th season in MLB history with two or more players hitting over 50 home runs in a single season.
Of all of the player in baseball, there are three who I feel stand the best shot at 50 this season: Giancarlo Stanton, Chris Davis and Bryce Harper.
Giancarlo Stanton was injured for most of the 2015 season, but as history has shown, he has just as much power as anyone in baseball right now, and is right up there with the all time great power hitters. In the 74 games he did play in 2015, Stanton blasted 27 home runs. If you were simply to double those numbers, Stanton would've theoretically hit 54 home runs in 148 games played. While those numbers can't be taken literally, due to them being mere projections, Stanton undoubtedly has 50+ home run potential, and with the Marlins moving in the fences, I think 2016 will finally be his year if he can stay healthy.
But even though Stanton has the best shot at 50, I think Chris Davis, who is no stranger to big production numbers, has a good chance as well. In 2015, Davis hit 47 home runs, but had 4-5 additional homers robbed by fantastic plays in the outfield over the season. Even so, Davis actually has a 50-homer season under his belt, as previously stated, hitting 53 in 2013. Returning to the Orioles for the next seven seasons, Davis is likely to hit well over 200 home runs over the course of that contract, and I could easily see him popping 50 of them in 2016 alone.
The last of the players on my top three 50 homer candidates list is Bryce Harper. He's still extremely young, at just 23 years old, but having hit 42 home runs last season, I could envision 50 from him in 2016. His power is undeniable, and with him taking a fantastic approach at the plate last year — either drawing a walk or waiting for his pitch and crushing it — I think Harper will continue to produce MVP caliber numbers for the next several seasons. Whether or not he surpasses 50 homers in 2016 is yet to be seen, but it is certainly not out of the question.
Despite the fact that Spring Training hasn't even begun, it's never too early to glance towards the regular season, and I have the feeling that 2016 is going to be an unbelievable year around Major League Baseball. Although there's the chance that my prediction is way off and no players at all hit 50 or more home runs this coming season, the potential for it to occur is there. That's more than enough reason to get people around the baseball world excited for the regular season to get underway in less than two months.

As a baseball fan, I obviously can't wait until Spring Training begins in a couple of weeks (Opening Day is now just under 60 days away). But as an overall sports fan, I can't wait for Super Bowl 50 on Sunday night between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos.
You may be wondering why I, a die-hard baseball fan at heart, would even be discussing the Super Bowl at all on a baseball blog — other than the fact that my home state's Panthers are in the big game. Well, the answer is that there are numerous baseball connections within this year's Super Bowl matchup, and I wanted to take the time to go over just a few of them.
To kick things off (pun intended), I'll begin with the connection the Super Bowl's starting quarterbacks, Peyton Manning and Cam Newton, have to baseball.
Peyton Manning was never drafted by a professional baseball team as a number of other NFL quarterbacks have been, but he does have a big connection to the sport. Manning was the back-up quarterback to former All-Star Rockies' slugger, Todd Helton, at the University of Tennessee back in 1994. The duo ultimately went in two different directions, but each made their marks in their given sports. Although the story of their connection has been told countless times before, it's still an interesting piece of information to acknowledge, nonetheless.
As with Manning, Cam Newton was never drafted by a big league team, largely due to the fact that he gave up baseball at age 14 for fear of getting hit by the ball (ironic, now that he faces getting sacked on a weekly basis by 250-pound linebackers). While baseball wasn't the sport for Newton, I'd say that by leading the Panthers to a 15-1 record this season and ultimately to the Super Bowl, Newton definitely discovered the right sport for him.
Digging deeper into each team's lineups, though there are numerous players who played baseball at one point or another in their past, with some even being drafted by a major league team, the most intriguing case from both lineups is undoubtedly the Panthers' Shaq Thompson.
Thompson was drafted by the Red Sox in the 18th round of the 2012 draft, but his career wound up being extremely short lived. In 39 at-bats with the Red Sox' Gulf Coast League team (the absolute lowest level in their organization), Thompson went hitless and struck out 37 times. That's right — 37 strikeouts out of 39 at-bats. Baseball was clearly not going to work out, but by making it to the Super Bowl, it's obvious that football did.
In the end, while all of those baseball connections to the Super Bowl are interesting, I still remain a baseball fan through and through and am avidly counting down the days until baseball gets going again. With the Super Bowl upon us, that signals that Spring Training is just around the corner and that the long wait of the offseason is almost over. As baseball Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby put it, "People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."
Q and A With Ray Black
Ray Black was drafted by the Giants in the 7th round of the 2011 draft, but the journey to draft day wasn't exactly a smooth one. Black underwent Tommy John surgery his senior year of high school after suffering an arm injury — the first of what would turn out to be many bad luck injuries. Thankfully, although the Tommy John surgery meant Black would have to be redshirted his freshman season, the University of Pittsburgh still honored their baseball scholarship offer to him, allowing Black to head there to play ball in 2009.
But the poor luck continued for Black in college when he tore his right meniscus during a workout before his sophomore season. Following a broken hand later on, Black then suffered a torn labrum after being officially drafted in 2011, which postponed him making his professional debut until all the way to April of 2014, despite being drafted almost three years prior. However, even after all the setbacks, when Black finally made his debut two years ago, he showed off every bit of the talent he possesses.
After posting a terrible 11.05 ERA over just 36.2 innings pitched in college, Black took off in 2014, and has done nothing but impress in his professional career, striking out 122 batters over his 60.1 career innings and holding opposing batters to a .146 average. In 2015 season alone, Black recorded a 2.88 ERA and struck out 51 over just 25 innings pitched.
Black spent all of 2015 at High-A, which isn't where you'd necessarily expect to see a 25-year-old pitcher — one with a shot at making it all the way to the big leagues, that is. But Ray Black isn't your average prospect, and there's certainly nothing average about his fastball. Black can crank it up to triple digits consistently, and has been up around 103-104 at times. It's that fastball that's keeping Black as a standout in the Giants' farm system despite numerous setbacks, and that will ultimately be the key to taking him all the way to the major leagues.
Ray Black — top prospect in the Giants' organization — took the time recently to answer some of my questions:
1.) At what age did you first become interested in baseball? Who was your biggest baseball influence growing up?
I started playing when I was around 4-5 with my father in the backyard. He was probably my biggest influence. He always told me, and still does to today, "Whatever you decided to do, do with 100 percent conviction". I joke with him that he's the most knowledgable farmer on the topic of pitching mechanics.
2.) Who was your favorite baseball player growing up? Why?
My favorite player was Nomar Garciaparra. I was a shortstop growing up, and Derek jeter was the most popular choice amongst kids my age. To be honest, he [Garciaparra] was really good. Boston was my team growing up, and he played with hustle.
3.) You were drafted by the Giants in the 7th round of the 2011 draft. What was that process like for you? Where were you when you first found out? Initial thoughts?
The draft is a crazy time for a lot of guys. Most people will tell you the draft process didn't go as expected for them. A lot of scouts had told me they didn't see me going after the 5th round. So on draft day, I got a call in the 4th round and 6th round by the Phillies and White Sox. After brief negotiations, it was likely we wouldn't come to an agreement, so they passed on me. I was frustrated at this time, so I started to walk out the door to meet with some friends, and my dad yelled out to me, "You just got drafted by the Giants". I was excited. They had won the World Series in 2010, and I knew they were a good pitching organization. Shortly after, I was relieved the process was over.
4.) With you going through several surgeries before you ever even began your baseball career, what kind of effect did that have on your overall mentality? Did you ever have doubts about being able to pitch while staying healthy?
Injuries have taught me not to take the game for granted. My career could have — and probably should have — ended with my shoulder surgery. The process was difficult; I would ask "why me?". But I kept my faith and worked through the process, knowing that light was at the end of the tunnel. There are times I overreact even to this day when I have arm tenderness, because I always assume the worst. But mentally and physically, I feel healthy and believe those injuries are in the past now.
5.) Once you were finally 100 percent healthy following the first month of the 2014 season, you were lighting up the radar gun in a way that you never had before. Hitting 100 consistently with your fastball, what do you attribute to you being able to throw faster than ever after being given a low chance of ever reaching high velocity again?
I think a lot of it had to do with the rehab process. My trainers put a program together to strengthen my arm. I've continued doing those exercises daily, and I take pride in my work ethic. There are always places to improve an individual's game. For me, I strengthened my lower half, increased core exercises and continued shoulder rehab.
6.) You were selected to participate in the Arizona Fall League this past year. What did you work on most over your time spent out there? What did you take away from pitching against some of baseball's best hitting prospects?
I really worked on my secondary pitches out there. When a good hitter is sitting fastball they'll be able to hit it regardless of velocity. So with throwing my slider more often and showing it for strikes it takes people off my heater. I was humbled out there giving up some hits, and I held my own as well. But playing against some of the games best prospects is a privilege.
7.) Talk a little bit about life on the road: What's the most difficult aspect of it? What do you do to pass the time?
Life on the road is difficult at times. I enjoy hunting, so it's hard missing archery, but being around guys your own age with similar interests is enjoyable. We'll play cards, usually watch almost every sporting event when it's on TV, and play video games. Sometimes I feel like I'm still a kid, blessed to be able to continue playing the same game I've been since I was a kid.
8.) What do you feel went well in 2015? What are your goals for 2016?
This past season was a tough year for me. I got hurt early, tried my hand as a starting pitcher (which didn't go well) and by the time I was back in the pen and throwing again I questioned my own abilities. I got to the point of being afraid of contact. I tried throwing my best pitch, every pitch, and it would make my mechanics difficult to repeat. I ended the year with a better ERA than 2014, but my WHIP was higher. So I was able to improve on stranding runners in situations I had to, and I was able to get strikeouts in key situations, like runners in scoring position with less than two outs.
9.) Favorite TV show? Favorite food?
I like 'Gotham' right now. My favorite TV series was 'Sons of Anarchy', and I enjoyed 'Band of Brothers'. I have a very deep appreciation for our military. It amazes me what they can do. And there's nothing like deer back straps. I think everyone should experience venison.
10.) Lastly, what advice would you give to kids who are just starting out that dream of playing professional baseball one day?
I think the best advice I can give is what my father told me: Work for what you want. You can't just wish for something to happen. If you want to be successful in anything, it starts with a strong work ethic; commit to something and do it with 100 percent conviction. Also, believe in yourself. I wasn't always a starter; I sat at times in little league; I didn't make every team I tried out for; I didn't always throw the hardest. Just keep your goals in mind and work towards them daily.
Big thanks to Ray Black for taking the time to answer my questions.

DALLAS — Southwest Airlines struggled to recover Thursday from a massive computer outage, as several hundred more flights were canceled or delayed around the country.
Airline executives said a router breakdown set off a chain of failures in critical technology systems a day earlier. Backup systems didn't work as expected, they said.
Southwest said that "most systems" recovered and were functioning by Thursday morning. After "a day of recovery," the airline hoped to be operating normally on Friday, said CEO Gary Kelly.
TEXAS CITY, Texas — Police in Southeast Texas say a 5-year-old boy accidentally shot his 2-year-old brother in the leg after finding a handgun in his home.
Texas City police tell the Galveston County Daily News (http://bit.ly/29X9cOK ) that they responded to the shooting Wednesday morning.
Police say the 5-year-old had found the handgun in a bedroom and shot his brother in the middle of his right thigh. Police say a family member then rushed into the bedroom and called 911.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection agreed to pay $475,000 to a New Mexico woman who accused agents of forcing her to undergo body cavity probes and then got charged for the exams, civil liberties advocates said Thursday.
The settlement in the case, which drew national attention three years ago, also will require new training for hundreds of customs officers, American Civil Liberties Union affiliates in Texas and New Mexico said.
AMARILLO — The body of a young female has been recovered during the search for missing 7-year-old Alexis Wartena.
At 9:10 a.m., officers on the south side of T Anchor Lake, behind the La Kiva Hotel, saw something floating in the water about 25 feet from the shore. A body was recovered and a Justice of the Peace was called to the scene.
Amarillo Police Department Officer Jeb Hilton told the Amarillo Globe-News that the missing girl's family was notified that a body had been recovered.
Texas' voter identification law violates the U.S. law prohibiting racial discrimination in elections, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed previous rulings that the 2011 voter ID law — which stipulates the types of photo identification election officials can and cannot accept at the polls — does not comply with the Voting Rights Act.
Here in West Texas, a land of drought and unpredictable rainfall, we haven't prioritized water planning and conservation enough to ensure we can weather future droughts.

Hastings Entertainment will be liquidated, according to court documents filed Wednesday.
Bidding on the beleaguered company in a Delaware bankruptcy court ended Wednesday afternoon, and according to the agency agreement an "everything must go" sale, which ends Oct. 31 at the latest, will be the end of the Amarillo retail chain's story.
Hilco Merchant Resources LLC and Gordon Brothers Retail Partners LLC, two financial consultation and management companies, bought the company in a contractual joint venture.
ARLINGTON (AP) — An Arlington police dog has died of apparent heat stress after chasing an aggravated assault suspect.

Peyton Manning
Likely Definitely Not Coming to Arizona Cardinals. Baseball, Anyone?
UPDATE: The Arizona Cardinals released a statement from coach Ken Whisenhunt saying Manning "is no longer an option for us."
You can throw that Arizona Cardinals Peyton Manning jersey you prematurely ordered straight in the garbage -- the Cardinals won't be landing Manning, and Cards quarterback Kevin Kolb got his $7 million roster bonus.
ESPN's saying the Cardinals were informed "they would be wise to proceed without Manning as a candidate to join the team."
To make things worse for non-Kolbs, though, Manning's been hanging out with the San Francisco 49ers, who happen to be the Cardinals' division rivals.

The 49ers, along with the Denver Broncos and Tennessee Titans, are now considered the three finalists to land Manning.
They all have some real top-notch wide receivers to throw the ball at, too, like the Niners' Michael Crabtree, the Titans' Kenny Britt, and the Broncos' -- uh -- Eric Decker?
The 49ers do have Vernon Davis, who is one of the league's top receiving tight ends.
But the Cardinals have Larry Fitzgerald fer chrissakes.
The current 49ers quarterback, Alex Smith, didn't even play like a turd last year -- dude brought his team damn close to the Super Bowl, losing to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship by a field goal in overtime.
Kolb, on the other hand, played in four games (plus a single pass in a fifth game), missing the rest after hurting his toe after three games, then getting a concussion in his second game back.
Kolb led to the team to a 1-3 record in the four games he actually played in, as quarterbacks John Skelton and Richard Bartel helped the Cardinals finish the season at a perfectly mediocre 8-8.
Kolb's no Derek Anderson -- we really hope -- but scoring Manning would have brought a lot of excitement to Arizona.
The good news for the Valley, though, is that baseball season gets under way early next month.

Commuters on westbound 694 are beginning to feel the effects of the single lane configuration over the 35W bridge in Arden Hills. Traffic is stacking up starting at Lexington Avenue.
The reason, sealant put down last night is not drying fast enough, so the freeway is reduced to a single lane. It will stay that way for the rush hour.
On southbound 35W, the usual line up is forming from Lake Drive down to County Road E2.
And this just in, a wreck is blocking a lane on southbound Hwy. 252 at 694.

Valverde tomatillo is the tart Westsider that gets sweet in the heat: Kenny Be's Hip Tip
Valverde is a historic west side neighborhood that is a complex blend of light industry and single-family housing. It is the perfect place to grow Valverde tomatillo. A member of the tomato family, the Valverde tomatillo plant bears bright green fruits with a taste that is a complex blend of sweet and tart...
As illustrated above on the Denver Neighborhood Seed Company packet shown above, the Valverde tomatillo is the biggest, sweetest tomatillo ever! This salsa star delivers truckloads of flavor to authentic Mexican chili and salsa. With 50 percent more sugar, Valverde tomatillos bring even more sweetness to the neighborhood that is home to the Sugar House swingers club and the King Soopers Bakery plant.
Valverde tomatillos are rich in vitamins A and C and provide a tart, lemony taste when used raw in salsas and salads. High heat enhances the sweet flavor and softens the fruit's thick skin. High in pectin and also known as a jamberry, a simple five-minute steam turns a Valverde tomatillo into a gelatinous goo that makes a delicious relish for grilled meats and vegetables.

June 06, 2014
The way Alex Schoenborn grew into his role was a major reason the Portland Winterhawks were able to stay near the pinnacle of the Western Hockey League.
The one big yawning void on Portland's roster after its 2013 championship season was the absence of veterans to staff a 'grind line' that could wear down defenders. Necessity being the mother of invention, Winterhawks coach-GM Mike Johnston instead filled that niche with an all-American line of three NHl draft prospects, with the 18-year-old Schoenborn working in tandem with 17-year-olds Dominic Turgeon and Keegan Iverson. The trio helped the 'Hawks reach a fourth consecutive WHL final before losing Game 7 to Edmonton, the eventual Memorial Cup champion.
Schoenborn, coming off his first full major junior season, is still raw but fills enriched by that experience.
"Everybody says 'third line' but I don't think we looked at ourselves as a third line," says the 6-foot-½, 196-pound wing who is NHL Central Scouting Service's No. 78-ranked North American skater. "Our coach Mike Johnston trusted us to play against any line. It felt good to earn his trust. We felt like we had crucial roles on the team and it gave us a big confidence boost."
Growing up in Minot, N.D., Schoenborn was bent on pursuing NCAA Division I hockey, like most puck-chasers in the upper midwest. As a 16-year-old, he moved to Omaha to play under-18 hockey, where he was spotted by the Winterhawks and placed on their reserve list. He signed late in 2011-12.
"I saw how good the coaching staff was and the fanbase it had, and I decided that was where I wanted to go," he says.
"When I went to Omaha to play AAA, I had no idea what the WHL was."
Schoenborn got into 20 Winterhawks games as a 17-year-old rookie on a stacked team in '12-13. He was durable this season, playing in all 72 games despite his physical style and tallying 18 goals and 36 points. That being said, Schoenborn says his agility and mobility has to improve in order for him to become a bona fide prosect.
"I plan to work on leg strength a lot this summer in order to improve my skating," says Schoenborn, who was a running back on the football field before giving himself over to hockey. "I also need to work on the skill part of the game. Shooting a lot of pucks, stickhandling. I can bring that way up."
1. How do you describe your game for people who haven't seen you play?
"Power forward — drive the puck wide, shoot, skate, do all the stuff down low, work hard down low."
2. When you're young, you have favourite players, but as you grow up you probably hear "you play like this guy" or "you should watch so-and-so." How do you model your game after?
"I try to play like Scott Hartnell [of the Philadelphia Flyers]."
3. What was your 'welcome to the WHL' moment?
"I got into a fight in my fifth game in [with Moose Jaw's Travis Brown] and that kind of opened my eyes a bit. I did well for my first fight in the Dub. That kind of got me excited about the league."
4. Aside from your parents, who has had the greatest influence in helping you reach this point?
"Our director for hockey in Minot, Jarrod Olsen. He's definitely been behind me my whole career. He's helped me a lot on and off the ice, just with always getting me ready for the next level."
5. Where is your favourite road rink in the WHL?
"The one I like the most would probably be Calgary. I thought it was really fun to play there. It was really nice."

Psalm 3:3
quotes about kids helping | ... help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41
Psalm 105:2
Because He is My Rock and My Salvation
Learn to forgive others, just as Christ as done for you.
WISDOM 008 - What does it mean to fight the good fight? What will you fight for? The great challenge is to change peoples minds. Unless you are perfect, the first mind you should change is your own.
Fight fire with water. God calls us to go above. Loving people in spite of their bad doesn't mean accepting the bad. Part of love is encouragement and construction. But God doesn't turn his back on us and leave us when we sin. We shouldn't put down others ether. Instead love and encourage them. You never know what their going through.
Philippians 4:8 - Stand up for The Word of God -- Sometimes that may mean making people uncomfortable. No matter what, be true to God's Word, which is TRUTH.; Go to www.jw.org to have your bible questions answered or ask for a free home bible study. This website is shown in over 400 languages!
Photo: Of everything I have learned recently and trying to implement into my life, forgiveness is the hardest. Especially where those who have hurt my children are concerned. My "head" tells me I understand the principle of being able to forgive to heal yourself/have peace, and it does not mean the other person deserves to be forgiven. My heart on the other hand feels like it is just not possible. A large part of that, I know, is because I don't know how I can even forgive myself, for .....
So blessed with great people in my life! This deployment, and the answered call of help for our troops has made me so appreciative of friends,old & new & renewed my faith in the goodness of people! Thank you all!
Sometimes forgiving someone isn't the answer; some people are just toxic and don't belong in your life...but that doesn't mean you can't pray for them. #NoRoomForUsers&Abusers
Thank You God Pictures, Photos, and Images for Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Twitter
As hard as that can be, it's the only way to go. You can't defend yourself against nasty lies, etc., you must keep some sanity and pray for those people. Prayers to you mean girls, bullies, & women who have pure evilness in your heart... Crazy how bullies can help make you a better person and strengthen your ability to not be like them. Thank you!
Habakkuk 3:19 ~ The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army...
Have you ever had someone do something stingy, inconsiderate, or downright mean? This 1-minute devotion talks about the blessing of "moving in the opposite spirit" and blessing those who offend you.
Grace not perfection. Thats the key for 1s because no matter how hard you try, you're never going to attain perfection, so you may as well learn how to handle your faults with grace. This makes life easier for you in every sense: emotionally, mentally, relationally...People like being around someone who can accept the imperfections of life with grace.
Do I really need all that? Living like minimalist
~~Actually need to quit thinking like this, it tricks me into believing its okay to stay where I am now!! ..... And it IS NOT!~~

- 'Don't axe trees while expanding roads'
Bhubaneswar: :An assembly committee has suggested that the state government takes maximum care to retain roadside trees during expansion of roads The existing old trees along the roads should be preserved to maintain the green belt along national and state highways and panchayat roads, the committee said in its report placed in the assembly on the opening day of second phase of the budget session. "If this is not possible then the road alignment should be made in such a manner that the trees on at least one side form the median of an expanded road," the committee chaired by Nrusingha Charan Sahu said. The recommendations assumed significance against the backdrop of ongoing debates on large-scale felling of trees and the growth of concrete jungles attributing to sharp increase in temperature across the state. Forest and environment minister B K Arukh, in a written reply to the assembly, had admitted that over four lakh trees were felled for various development projects in the state in the last three years. The committee on forest and environment expressed concern over the condition of forest roads in the state and suggested that more funds should be sanctioned to take up the repair work. "The sum of Rs 3 crore provided in 2015-16 was not adequate," it said.

- Road safety drive message: Don't die young
Nagpur: They gave them the example of a boy who crossed 60, only to die at the age of 21. They showed the teenagers present how this death could have been prevented had he followed the speed limit. Other precautions included avoiding some of the seemingly 'normal' habits of the youngsters while driving. On the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon's Day on Saturday, the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of VSPM Dental College and Research Centre launched a campaign called 'Face It'. This social mission has been undertaken by the college at the behest of the Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India. The launch and the first presentation of the series was organized on the premises of GH Raisoni College of Engineering and was attended by more than 300 students. Director of the college Preeti Bajaj appreciated the concern of the doctors for the youngsters. "We realized that it is important to sensitize the public about the perils of rash driving, not strapping on a seat belt and wearing helmet, cell phone use while driving among other things," informed the vice dean of the college Dr Ramakrishna Shenoi. He added that the presentation will be given to more than 2,500 people over the next seven days at organizations like Central India Business Management and Research Department (CIBMRD), Mahindra Automobiles and Jhulelal Institute of Technology. Talking about the reason of focusing on youngsters through the campaign, associate professor of the department Dr Samprati Badjate said, "College is usually the time when most kids start driving long distances which makes following rules much more important. This is also the age group most prone to road accidents." He added that a huge number of these accidents can be prevented by following the rules. "In Nagpur, we have seen that most of the victims of road accidents happen to be students, especially those from engineering colleges. Therefore, having such sessions in these colleges will perhaps contribute towards bringing down the number of accidents in the city," said associate dean of GHRCE and the coordinator of the event.

A new poll conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs shows an overwhelming opposition to the idea of attacking Iran among American voters, with 70 percent saying they are opposed to the idea of a unilateral US attack on Iran.
The poll showed a declining number of Americans considering Iran's civilian nuclear program a "threat" to American interests, and solid majorities opposed US involvement in an Iran war authorized by the UN or in joining an Israeli attack on Iran.
Perhaps the biggest shift in sheer numbers was in ground attacks on terrorist training camps. In 2002 the poll showed an 82 percent majority wanting such attacks, while now that has shrunk to only 54 percent.
The shift reflects Americans' increasing desire to stay out of international adventures, coming just months before a US presidential election in which both candidates are taking hawkish positions.
