Riggs, I'm with you on Kershaw.
I'm going to start sending ST to players during the first week of February, if not the last day of January. Some will report during the first week. Minor league guys will report around the 21st.

Here are the reporting dates. I might send out towards the end of the week. Maybe beet the rush. I have tried sending Middle of ST & start of ST & both times my results have been mixed. So im sending early this year. see what happens.
