Best Shape of His Life stuff is a clear sign that we’re in the offseason, but an actual harbinger of spring is this kind of thing:

Interviewed Youkilis on Tues. He will revamp stance in 2013. Hands will be lower, legs will be wider apart and he’ll be in more of crouch.

Youkilis showed me the new stance. It’s different, but he still has his top hand off the bat as he readies to swing. Like I said, think 2008

Soon we will see more and more stories about pitchers tweaking their mechanics and stuff, and then you know that spring training is just around the corner.
