So here we are, pitchers and catchers are starting to report to camp and that can only mean one thing. Spring training is finally here! It's that time of the year when fans can come out of hibernation and return back to reality, baseball is back.
As usual its been a loud offseason in Major League Baseball between all the signings, trades and big money pay-days around the league.
Coming into the 2013 season there are as always many questions for each team to answer and a lot of big storylines to watch as the season gets going.
Can the aging Yankees show they've still got what it take to win championships. Will the Redsox finally return to the Postseason with all the big moves they made. Do the BlueJays all-star additions have enough to bring Toronto its 1st division crown in 20 years.
With a shaky rotation, can the Angels dangerous lineup get the job done. Will the Rangers fare well with out Hamilton. Can the A's repeat in the west. And how many games will the Astros lose in the American League.
Will a longer leashed Strasburg and additions of Soriono and Haren head the Nats to the World Series. Or can the Upton brothers lead the charge to top the NL East. Do the slowly fading Phillies climb back into the playoffs.
How bad will Carpenters injury hurt the Cardinals. What happens to Ryan Braun amidst MLB's PED investigation. Can the Reds bust through this season as one of baseballs elite teams.
Will the Dodgers huge payroll be able to live up to the hype and win it all. Can the Giants repeat to create a dynasty winning 3 of 4 years. How ready are the D-Backs young stars in the Chinese year of the Snake.
As you can see there's a lot and many more questions to be answered this season. But only time will reveal the answer. And you can see it all happening coming soon to a ballpark near you.
