Monday notes…

- SEE YA, SEIYA: According to this Tribune article, on Sunday Seiya Suzuki played in his final Cactus League game before departing to join Samurai Japan for the World Baseball Classic, where he’ll play center field. Depending on how far Japan goes (and they won last time), Suzuki should be back for the last few Spring Training games.
Here are today’s particulars.

Please visit our SB Nation Royals site Royals Review. If you do go there to interact with Royals fans, please be respectful, abide by their individual site rules and serve as a good representation of Cub fans in general and BCB in particular.
As we have done in the past, we’ll have a first pitch thread at five minutes to game time and one overflow thread, 90 minutes after game time. For today, that will be 2 p.m. CT and 3:30 p.m. CT.
These threads will not post individually onto the front page; instead, you can find links to them in the box marked ”Chicago Cubs Game Threads” at the bottom of the front page. There will also be a StoryStream on the front page with all the game thread links, as well as the recap after the game is over. The pitcher photos and regular-season stats will return on Opening Day.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
