Welcome to Balls and Strikes

Good morning, this is the Manager. Each day I will be bringing you the 9 things that happened in baseball yesterday or what to look forward to today. Before the season gets underway, there will be team previews, fantasy baseball thoughts, recaps of spring training games and a look at some prospects that will get you ready for the 2011 regular season to begin. For today, I will be brief on my thoughts as I welcome you to the team. Starting tomorrow, we will dig into the heart of spring training and the events in Florida and Arizona. Always feel free to post your thoughts or things you want to see talked about. The lineup card is empty, let's fill it up!
