1.Michael Pineda 的先發輪值位置不保？
Pineda下降的球速是今年春訓最熱門的話題之一，前兩天就已經傳出消息，洋基教練團
考慮讓他開季到3A繼續調整。昨晚對費城人的熱身賽是Pineda能否進入開季先發輪值的
重要指標，結果他被打爆，allowing six runs in 2 2/3 innings, taking his spring
ERA to 5.68。洋基現在的先發輪值是6搶5的狀態，Ivan Nova, Phil Hughes and
Freddy Garcia behind CC Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda in the rotation.
在另外五位投手相對穩定的情況下，Pineda在3A開季的機會大增。

2.Royals sign Alex Gordon to four-year, $37.5 million deal
The Kansas City Star’s Bob Dutton reports the first four seasons are worth
$37.5 million: $6 million in 2012, $9 million in 2013, $10 million in 2014
and $12.5 million in 2015. The Royals are paying more than they likely needed
to for the next two years (Gordon was already signed for $4.775 million for
2012), but they’ll make it back in his free agent seasons if Gordon remains
one of the game’s top 20 or 30 outfielders.

3.關於Stephen Drew/Carl Crawford/Cris Carpenter的傷勢
紅襪跟紅雀的教練分別對Crawford及木匠的傷勢做了回應。兩個人都預計最快要到
四月底或五月初才可能回到陣中。Stephen Drew的狀況比較複雜，目前尚無歸期，
而且根據了解他的復健狀況 “is a slow process”

4.Tony La Russa to get $2.5 million a year to … do something
許多人關心Tony La Russa的出路，他現在找到工作了...或者是說，他拿到title，
拿到錢，但還不知道該幹些什麼。大聯盟官方提供Tony La Russa一年2.5M的薪水
請他擔任"Special Advisor"(特別顧問)，目前媒體的推測是可能跟Joe Torre一樣
擔任一些棒球大使的工作。但是一年2.5M的大使，待遇真不錯。(Joe Torre薪水2M)

5.Rangers release former All-Star Brad Hawpe
It seems like forever ago now, but Brad Hawpe was an All-Star as recently as
2009.He had a rough 2010 season for the Rockies and Rays, was even worse in
part-time action with the Padres last season, and last night the Rangers
released him after signing Hawpe to a minor-league contract in January.
