With the Cactus League kicking off tomorrow at Sloan Park, Jameson Taillon is set to face the White Sox in game one. The Cubs have announced that Matthew Boyd – like, Taillon, a World Baseball Classic participant – will start game two against the Rangers, also at Sloan Park.

I tend to think that we’ll see a lot of the WBC guys this weekend, appearing earlier – and maybe for longer – than usual at the start of Spring Training.
