It’s been a riveting start to spring training.

Still, spring training is camp is poised to be a microcosm of the uneventful offseason, when the biggest news is there was no news. As ESPN's Jayson Stark put it: "When was the last offseason in which the Red Sox and Yankees both added, essentially, no new players of major significance? 1904?...The Yankees and Red Sox spend the entire offseason talking to the Twins about Johan Santana. Then neither of them trades for him. What's baseball coming to, anyway?"

Indeed. While the Devil Rays were out putting their latest touches on their 10-year rebuilding plan, the Blue Jays were adding Scott Rolen, and the Orioles were off doing whatever in God's name it is they do to prepare for another disastrous season, the Red Sox and Yankees took a look around, and on the seventh day decided it was good.

Track World Cup 07-08 Round 3 - CDM

In the sprint, reigning World Champion Victoria Pendleton has had little luck getting the better of the current World Cup leader, Natallia Tsylinskaya (Belarus). Tsylinskaya eliminated the British rider in Sydney in the quarter finals, before being eliminated herself by Aussie Anna Meares. Newcomer Willy Kanis, a Dutch BMX champion, surprised everyone to get the better of Meares in the final. Pendleton found her speed in Beijing, qualifying fastest and hitting the finals against Tsylinskaya only to be defeated in two rounds, but had better luck in the keirin, winning in Sydney and now leads the World Cup in that event.

Tsylinskaya leads the sprint standings with 20 points to Kanis and Meares' 17, but it remains to be seen who will come to Los Angeles seeking points and who will save the jet lag and hedge their bets on the next round in Copenhagen.
