Encouraging signs of spring

Although we're in midst of the largest snowfall of the season and Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday, there are some sure signs of spring in SoxandPhils-ville.

First, Scott Lauber, who by default is now the premier newspaper reporter covering the Phillies, has stirred from his hibernation and says his paper and blog will begin full team coverage soon. That's good news, but hard to believe when his newspaper company is crumbling.

Second, a certain young, left-handed, World Series-winning ace has arrived for spring training. No, not that young, left-handed, World Series-winning ace, but this one. It can get so confusing with all the championship-caliber talent on our two rosters. Jon Lester reported early and seems ready to build on a breakout year.

Oh, and in a complete surprise to me, we signed Brad Wilkerson. I might be happier if it was Curtis Wilkerson.
