Yesterday eight MLB teams played the first four spring training games of the year. Today all thirty teams will be playing; which is the surest sign of spring that I can think of. Sure, the calendars say that it is a month away, but I have to think that is just some statistical anomaly. In the spirit of baseball and of sports blogging, I am going to make my predictions for the 2013 Major League Baseball season.
