Jake Fox gets Milb contract with the Phillies. Has not been in the majors since he was with the O's in 2011. This is the 10hr spring training Jake Fox, right? Or am I confusing him with someone else?

Thanks. I never trust my memory. That spring training, he did have me fooled for a bit.

Single bullet, eh? Did he have a wooden gun too maybe?

There was a buzz surrounding Nick Markakis' arrival at Braves spring training camp,and the fact that he appears to have regained his strength after an offseason that didn't include rehab only part of the reason for it.

The beard is gone, shaved the day before.

"Got down here, and it was too hot for it," Markakis said Thursday. "I'm sure it will come back."

Now he and the Braves are hoping his power and arm strength do the same.

As Markakis took batting practice for the first time this spring, he drove one ball over the outfield wall. Then another, and another.

"There you go," said catcher A.J. Pierzynski. "Four homers in BP."

They certainly don't count, but those shots are proof of months of work for Markakis.

"I like to think I did everything I can this offseason," the 32-year-old right fielder said. "Offseasons get shorter and shorter as you get older. It was a good offseason, a productive offseason and I'm where I think I need to be."

Sounds like he's in the best shape of his life.

Sounds like what we heard in Sarasota a few years ago. To include the display of power in BP.

It's March first and the Braves are in first place.
