Angels
• Anthony Rendon may get every Sunday off to start the season.
Joe Maddon said it was possible that Anthony Rendon remains on this type of schedule with regard to off-days. So far he's had the last two Sundays off.
Maddon said it's because he's coming off surgery, and he may need less time off later in the season.

Orioles
• Keegan Akin and Mike Baumann will remain as long relievers.
Meanwhile, the Orioles watched starting prospects like Akin and Baumann make more traditional conversions into relievers. Now, suddenly searching for ways to fill a John Means-sized rotation hole, Hyde said he prefers to keep Akin and Baumann in bulk-relief roles despite their starter history.
Nestor Cortes announced himself to much of the baseball fandom last week, striking out 12 Orioles over five shutout innings while allowing just three hits and walking one in an eventual no-decision. But Baltimore, all the haters cried. Everyone knows you only get 50% credit for games against the O’s! Read the rest of this entry »

While the NFBC Main Event garners most of the attention, there are a handful of leagues with even a larger entry fee ($2.5K to $15K). They get originally named “High Stakes Leagues” and this year there are nine of them. With so much money on the line, these fantasy managers are going to try to gain any advantage. Most of the time, these managers will be a week or two ahead of everyone else on their adds. Here are the players and some information on the ones added in five or more of these leagues.
Owen Miller (9): Miller has an insane line of .500/.545/.964 with a .545 BABIP. Obviously, there is some regression coming but it’s tough to know where his talent will stabilize. His eye has improved with his K/BB dropping from 6.0 to 1.3. Those gains might not stick since the league is throwing him 61% fastball (53% last season). Almost all of his damage is coming off those fastballs (1.771 OPS) and the league will eventually adjust. I think in deeper leagues he is a must-add.
I know this is satire, but I wanted it to be true so bad.
