****Jim Callis at MLB.com looks at the Top Ten minor league Opening Day rosters with the most talent. I can't argue about any of his choices.
****Shawn Brody at Beyond the Boxscore examines the importance of velocity gaps between fastballs and off-speed pitches.
****Nicolas Stellini looks at Rockies shortstop Trevor Story, 'first player ever to hit a home run in each of his first three games in the big leagues. He's also the first player ever to hit a home run in each of his first four games in the big leagues."

***The main goal here at Minor League Ball is to get the remaining 'What to Expect" articles for all Opening Day big league rookies posted.
