We're up to 163 ounces, but sadly, I was only able to pull 29 links out of them today. Here you go: Baseball Digest Daily, after a one-day hiatus, is back with recaps of all of yesterday's games. Tom H. repeats the same refrain he's been singing since November: "The Brewers are going to trade a pitcher soon...right?"

The home team sports the colors of St. Patrick’s Day when they host to the Indians at 1:05 in Clearwater. Chad Durbin makes his first official Grapefruit League start. Today's rant: Instead of green dye, Charlie Manuel is lacing his beer with Goodys Headache Powder. His club is looking a little rough around the edges. His core isn’t taking it seriously.
