Spring training baseball games are underway, and with that, the 2018 season is basically here.

Plus, the pitching staff is NOT a source of tremendous worry heading into the 2018 season which seems like the first time in franchise history that sentence has ever been uttered. Who are the early spring surprises, and who are some names to keep an eye on going into the new season? We'll discuss that, too!

It's the 124th episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Run it under some cool water and watch it grow into a sponge!
