numberFire's MLB Opening Day Blowout
It's that time of year again, when saying, "Down with the Yankees!" means you're more patriotic than less. When saying, "Those Cubs sure do look ugly!" doesn't receive death threats from PETA. When saying, "Let's chase the Indians out of Minnesota!" is... well, still mildly racist, but you get the point. It's baseball time!
We've been prepping for this day for a solid month. We've given you fantasy previews of the top ten players at each hitting position. We've also given you a look at a few key teams that we'll be following throughout the season. Make sure to see if your favorite team is below, then follow your team's author to receive updates every time a new article is posted.
