    When he is in the minors, his arbitration clock is paused. They would have to send him down for about 2 months to gain an extra year. I don't think that has much bearing on his situation though.

    Marwin might be the Opening Day 1B.

    It would make sense. White was the best of the guys specifically auditioning for the job, but White is still a rookie and Marwin has paid his dues and has looked great in the spring. Maybe White is just the backup 1B but gets more starts than your typical backup gets (since Marwin also plays all over the place).

    And now for a flood of accidental waiver wire pick ups in fantasy when people see Matt Duffy available but don't pay attention to which one.

    That would be fantastic and well-deserved. White needs to sit back for a little, soak it all in and not let the big show overwhelm him.

    They do make it seem like its "daytime" indoors... which could definitely mean the ball could get lost in there.

    Outfielders have to wear sunglasses for night games? Could happen...

    I listened to the TV crew.

    Watch Brett Phillips laughing on YouTube.

    How awesome.
