Thanks to his furious 2013 finish and hot spring, Chris Iannetta has started five of LAA's first seven games. But the catcher AB still seem to be up for grabs between Iannetta and Hank Conger.
Jonathan Villar begins 2014 as HOU's starting SS, where his plus speed makes him a 30+ SB threat. But fantasy owners should also consider Villar's shortcomings, and have a backup plan ready.
Entering 2014 with a woefully shallow and inexperienced rotation, LAA will lean heavily on a bullpen that looks to improve with the addition of ex-Indian Joe Smith, among others.
The SEA rotation started out hurting, but the prognosis has deteriorated in March. Both Taijuan Walker and Hishashi Iwakuma are now questionable for April, with Brandon Maurer the early beneficiary.
LA's immediate and long-term middle infield questions have suddenly made Dee Gordon's move to 2B worth watching. He's one of a few speculative keeper names to monitor in March.
Jonathan Singleton still looks like the HOU 1B in the 2H, but that job is up for grabs heading into March. This and other notes as the first spring training games commence.
Danny Farquhar was lights-out as a rookie closing for SEA in the 2H of 2013. He won't begin 2014 with the same role, but Farquhar and the other names here shouldn't be overlooked.
