Crowdsourcing Your Spring Training Leaderboards
Here is a pointless exercise I just thought of.
Every year there are a handful of fringe players who go crazy in the spring. Andy Dirks, Lorenzo Cain, Colin Cowgill, Joe Mather, Luis Mendoza last year, to name a few.
Who will 2013’s spring surprises be? Throw some picks in the comments, and six weeks from now I’ll revisit and see if any readers picked out the unexpected stars.
My picks, based on nothing: Johnny Giavotella, Adam Rosales, Michael Bowden.
(Okay, based on slightly less than nothing… reasonably young, and a potential job to win with a good spring.)
Jeremy Blachman is the author of Anonymous Lawyer, a satirical novel that should make people who didn't go to law school feel good about their life choices. Read more at McSweeney's or elsewhere. He likes e-mail.
Evan Gattis
I was going to say Juan Francisco, but I think you might be right.
