The Colorado Rockies have been a youthful team for over a decade. Except for Todd Helton, they have unsuccessfully tried to thrive on young minor league talent in their system to supplement the wandering free agents. For the middle years of the last decade they were known as “Todd and the Toddlers”. Well, that will no longer be the case in Denver, Colorado on opening day 2012...

The Cleveland Indians made a move with the pitcher they have only known for the past 11-plus years as Fausto Carmona. Arrested last week in the Dominican Republic on false identity charges, Carmona was placed on baseball's restricted list.

In his recent FanGraphs interview, Manny Acta said that Lonnie Chisenhall is “going to probably be the most important piece of the puzzle in our infield.” The Indians skipper was referring primarily to the young third baseman’s defense, but he obviously will have to produce with the bat as well.
