* Welcome to COTF, where Fly's never restricted and always your franchise player.

* Out in La La Land, the Lakers barely break even when they go sans Shaq, but don't look for the big guy to get overly taxed down the stretch (April 15 not included), as the only record that matters to Phil Jax is the 8-0 mark posted away from Staples '01 postseason ago. Translation: In the regular season, it may be good to be the Kings, but don't forget where the road to the cham-peen-ship goes through, ARCO-breath.

* Fellow Phils may say they're cool, but the Spies say Scott Rolen's locker's not exactly the hot corner of the clubhouse this spring now that he's: a.) left huuuge jack on the table, b.) buh-lasted team suits, and c.) penciled his name between Slim and None on the '03 lineup card. ("I would sign the contract" one vet whispers.) Up next: a whine and jeer reception at the Vet.

* Speaking of Philly, Bobby Abreu may have gotten a cash bath, but Fly still detects some fuzzy math when G.M. Ed Wade and prez Dave Montgomery point to the books as a sign of their commitment to winning, considering the only key newbie on the 40-man is, ahem, Terry Adams. That leaves the Phils trailing the Braves and Mets in the offseason standings, a view they should get used to.
