THEME: none, but only 28 blocks
GOOD ONES:
Ballpark figs. MGRS [not estimates but men]
Card quality WIT [not stock but clever person]
Storyteller? POLYGRAPH
Short time out? CAT NAP
BTW: AROD, Edgar MARTINEZ, and PICK-OFF anticipate Opening Day in two weeks --- so do I.
Zip up ANIMATE [zip up = make things more lively; animate = bring to life --- they seem quite different, but they both can mean
enliven.]
Is there such a term as
ORE CARS? I heard of
hods.
As themeless puzzles go, this is a-one, but without a theme....
RATING:

Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
