Minor league options factor into the division's few starting job battles. Notably so in TEX, where resurgent Ronald Guzman suddenly looks like a good bet to be the Opening Day 1B again. We look at the competition in LAA, SEA, and more...
Dansby Swanson's skills are as pretty as his name, but who'll back him up if his season takes a swan dive? Plus: 2B options for NYM and MIA; back of the rotation hopefuls in WAS and PHI; more.

Also: Duran's early flash in BOS, batting around the batting order in NYY, Brujan's path to relevance in TAM and Pearson's injury in TOR.
