Javier Baez will back up Ben Zobrist at second and occasionally Addison Russell at short as well as Kris Bryant at third. Manager Joe Maddon, ‘‘I’m certain that he’s going to play often.’’ Greg Holland pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning in just 10 pitches yesterday. The Mets are unsure if Matt Harvey will ever be the same pitcher he was two seasons ago.

Lance Lynn should be drafted, and he will start getting drafted a whole bunch more because people are catching on. Expect his ADP to continue rising through the last draft. If you draft today you will get him a whole lot cheaper. Matt Carpenter hasn’t swung a bat this spring due to a back injury and and won’t swing for nine more days.
