Fan perspective: Who should be the backup catcher for the Milwaukee Brewers? (Associated Content)
As spring training enters its final week, the Milwaukee Brewers still have some decisions to make regarding their bench. One of the roster spots still up for grabs is the backup catcher slot behind starter Jonathan Lucroy. Last season's backup catcher, George Kottaras, is up against veteran Wil Nieves, who was signed as a free agent over the winter. Nieves played for the Washington Nationals in 2010. Both players have had a good spring, which makes the choice a little more difficult for manager Ron Roenicke.

Fan’s take: My all-time St. Louis Cardinals team (Associated Content)
Many St. Louis Cardinals fans have their special players of all times. Many are the same. However, many of us have different opinions on who the starters should be by position. This is one fan's opinion. I have to admit, I was torn on several decisions. Anyway, here goes. They are listed by position, not batting order. Catcher Ted Simmons played 13 seasons with the Cards. He played at both catcher and first base. As a Cardinal, he was a seven-time all star.

Fan’s view: The 5 best managers in Major League Baseball (Associated Content)
As fans we have all, at one time or another, thought we could do a better job than the guy who manages our favorite team. We yell at the TV when we feel he has left the starting pitcher in too long, or when he isn't sitting the guy who is in an 0-for-20 slump. In reality, those in-game decisions are probably the easiest part of his job. He also has to deal with the media everyday, figure out a way to get 25 different personalities pulling in the same direction, and sometimes dole out punishments to players like a parent does a child.
