• Local weather geeks were predicting the apocalypse, but this is all we got. Still pretty, though. Thanks to Scott Carter for keeping us informed. 
• Former Durham Bull Matt Torra is showing up on the roster of Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic. Wonder how he pulled that off? Aunt's second cousin from Palermo? Mr. Torra is now in the Washington Nationals system. He was the 2012 workhorse for the Bulls appearing in 26 games and leading the Bulls in innings pitched. Good luck.
• Meanwhile over at The Progress Report we have a very interesting look at Brandon Guyer, who ended up sitting out almost all of 2012 recovering from shoulder surgery and Josh Leuke, who didn’t have all that good a year with the Bulls in 2012.
• Justin Ruggiano hopes he has finally put AAA ball behind as reported in an interview over in FanGraphs [Thanks to Adam Sobsey for the heads up on the link!]
