Who is going to make the opening day roster? And does the so-called backup first base competition even really exist? All that plus the announcement of a new monthly podcast - 'The Major League Mailbag' - coming from yours truly every weekend during the baseball season.

LIFTOFF baby. 28 year old catcher gonna make  his mark with the O's soon....LOL
