Rebroadcast on MLB Network tomorrow morning at 5am

Banuelos, Lambert, Fry, Bummer, Turner, Marshall pitching

That is one hell of an uninspiring lineup. Will tune in for Lambert though.

Was thinking the same thing. Will record and watch Lambert probably.

Mendick has been interesting so far, lets see what can do today.

Why does Goins play every day?   He's a 30 year old failed prospect.  Madrigal didn't get as many at bats.   Laz Rivera gets three at bats, hits a home run, and then nothing.  Mitch Roman...they have interesting 2b prospects but no point in seeing them over Goins.

Good questions, Im not sure how teams use players in spring training. I love Pavin Smith of the D Back and think is a terrific hitter only to find he is not even on the Sprint team for them.

Goins has the MLB track record and is closer to joining the MLB team?  Madrigal maybe can get more work preparing for the minor league season?

Because Madrigal doesn't matter for this year.  He is getting his ABs with the MiLB guys.  It is the borderline guys they want to evaluate.  Rivera falls into the same camp.  It is spring training, not the regular season.

So how long before we hear Robert is shut down for 6 weeks?  They keep pushing back his return from the thumb injury.

I am sure they are making funeral arrangements as we post.

Would Bañuelos clear waivers? Would we care?

He took BP again today so I imagine he's fine. I'd guess today was seeing how his hand bounced back.

Mendick is having a nice showing this spring.

Angels really having themselves an inning.

26th wild pitch of the inning.

Probably not. He's looked pretty good in 2 of his 3 starts. He's missing bats and getting Ks. I'd give him the long relief job over Covey. I'd rather he start over Santana but I doubt that's going to happen. He could potentially have more of a future with the Sox than Santana does, and in a season that doesn't matter, I don't know why the Sox wouldn't start with Banuelos in Chicago and Santana in Charlotte, as Santana signed an MiLB deal. If Banuelos sucks thru April, by all means cut him loose but at least see what you have first. It does them no good to trade for the guy and then waive him right away to give the spot to a veteran retread.

If there is any team that has worse pitching than the Sox, it is the Angels.
