• Over in the FanPosts, TWreck continues his look at the coaches fired from the staff following the season.

• Jonathan Lucroy's 2015 was one to forget. One of the reasons for that was some unlucky hits and injuries that hit him over the course of the season. Ryan Romano of BP Milwaukee looks at exactly how unlucky Lucroy was in the season.
