Pitchers and catchers report to Dunedin tomorrow, so I wanted to ask who you\u2019re most interested in watching this spring?<\/p>\n
All eyes are going to be on Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce, as the big offseason signings. We know that Cease will look great, it\u2019s just a matter of seeing whether his stuff translates into results this season. Ponce will be interesting, we\u2019ll get to find out how his improved stuff translates back to North America after his time in Japan and Korea<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also have last year\u2019s guys to scrutinize. Will Jeff Hoffman bounce back? Can Jose Berrios regain his form?<\/p>\n
Prospect hipster that I am, though, I might be most intrigued by Spencer Miles. The Rule 5 pick touches 98 with what\u2019s reported to be a nice slider and even some command. He\u2019s managed just 23 innings in three and a half seasons since being drafted, but then he\u2019s punched out 34 in that time. He\u2019s a long shot to stick with the team, but if he does there\u2019s some fun upside.<\/p>\n
