I hope you didn't get a #19 Jake Lamb jersey for Christmas. Because it just became a vintage item.

While working on the next part of the viewer's guide to non-roster spring guys, I came across an odd update on the Diamondbacks' transaction page for Tuesday, stating that no less than six Diamondbacks have changed their numbers for the upcoming season. Don't recall seeing something like that before, particularly not with that volume of changes. Probably unsurprisingly, it's the younger players who have made a change: five of the six were rookies last season, the sole exception being sophomore starting pitcher Anderson.
