QUOTE (BFirebird @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) Was their anyone besides Link and Poreda? Sanchez, i think.

Mike Fontenot is hitting his ass off this spring.

Are we seeing the Josh Fields that was on pace for 50 homers and 100 +RBI's only two years ago? I don't think so, but what we are seeing is a more well-rounded hitter.

Gordon Beckham is odd and entertaining at the same time. I hope he continues to enlighten us periodically throughout the season.

Schlitter? Bet he took a lot of crap for that in High School.

JVB's getting a lot of groundball, does he throw a sinker now?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 11:05 PM) any reason nix was pulled after just 1 AB? nice to see getz getting the hit I suspect Ozzie's seen all he needs to see from the kid for now. (which is a positive thing for Jayson), and the ball is now in Getz's court.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 11:02 PM) Hmmmmm, I remember reading somewhere that Van Benschoten used to be a good batter, once hitting 35 home runs in his senior year of college, I think. ...I wonder if we can "Rick Ankiel" him. hmmm Join the club. We've speculated about this, and while we agree it's a possibilty it seems more likley that KW made this signing with a "Coop can Fix him' mentality.

Poor JVB was doing so well too....

I'm actually quite fond of Kasper and Brenly, but i'll admit that their banter can get a bit old. Still, i wish i could watch the game... gameday's doing a good job of keeping me in the loop though

Aw, the former college QB VS. the former College WR

Jayson Nix is hitting a robust .714. Good on him

Very poor episode tonight. They would of been better served going into hiatus last week rather than after tonight. Eventually, the writers will realize that we don't care who Sawyer's sleeping with this week and just answer more mysteries.

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 06:51 PM) Well isn't that great, Lilly has his best game of the spring (with a perfect bunt included) when Ozzie is out watching Owens. We are cursed. Who was managing the team today? Cora?

I really hope this is the start of something good for Lillibridge. Shame, he didn't get to steal another base.

Ah, Adrian Cardenas the former top offensive prospect for the Phillies whom they got for Joe Blanton.

I really hope someone's getting video of all these Viciedo bombs. Feel like we're missing out.

Jerome Williams was a pretty big deal a couple years ago. Shame to see him in his mid-30's without having made anything of himself.

Alright, Matt Cassel's younger brother is in!

Jerry Reinsdorf?

QUOTE (ChesterCopperpot @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) And didn't we trade away Aaron Cunningham? Or am I completely off on that one. Yep, for Danny Richar.

I hope he teaches her the cutter.

While I’m not comparing the three in terms of talents Nix, Quentin, and Kroeger have very interesting surface similarities. Wherein all three were once top prospects who were pushed aside by injuries and the "next big thing" Nix by Ian Stewart, Q by Upton/Young, and Kroeger by Carlos Quentin (irony) I like redemption stories, and those are usually the best part about spring training.

JORDAN DANKS!!!! I am so freaking psyched right now!!!
