The Rundown: Quick Spring Training Thoughts, Contreras and Q in Beast Mode, Almora Cubs Secret Weapon, MiLB Labor Issues

Some stream-of-consciousness randomness with nine days until the season opener in Miami:

The Cubs are playing so well right now one can only hope the team doesn’t start the season with some kind of spring training hangover.

Jose Quintana looks to be in midseason form after mowing down the Indians the other day. Quintana’s final line: Eight strikeouts and one hit allowed in six innings. No reason not to expect those types of outings from Q this year. People tend to forget he was in as much demand as Chris Sale was last spring.
