The UNC Tar Heels are rumored to be in the early lead for New Mexico shooting guard Jake Hall. Hall shot 44% 3pts & was conference Freshman of the year. Would be a big-time pickup for Michael Malone. Duke is also showing interest in Hall, but has ground to make up at the moment
Junior Caminero two walks in his first two plate appearances. He might draw 100 walks this year because pitchers are going to work around him and go after others in the TB lineup.
ICYMI, the #Rays rotation is set to open the season:
Drew Rasmussen (Opening Day in St. Louis)
Nick Martinez (at STL)
Steven Matz (at STL)
Ryan Pepiot (at MIL)
Shane McClanahan (at MIL)
As Rays beat reporter Adam Berry wrote in his newsletter, the staff was laid out to separate the pitchers with potential innings limits (Matz, McClanahan and Rasmussen). The way this is structured, if everyone stays healthy and given off-days, McClanahan would be in line to start the home opener at Tropicana Field on April 6.

Source confirms: Free agent Christopher Morel in agreement with Marlins on one-year contract, pending physical. Expected to mostly play 1B. Hope is Marlins hitting coach Pedro Guerrero will unlock him. First: @mikedeportes
