In another thread Aardsma was mentioned as a possibility. Probably Tracey. Jenks hasn't pitched in a while, has he? So he could pitch. We will likely see 3 innings from Russell and Phillips together, so The means 2-3 relievers will only be used, if everything goes to planned.

Yeah, that was me who mentioned Aardsma so that doesn't do me much good. It's pretty disappointing that Masset had to pitch yesterday, I've watched basically all of his outings from last season but I've yet to see him this spring I would have liked to see him held over to today.

Flash Tizzle Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 There will literally be no one of interest pitching today. No Masset, Gonzalez, Danks or Floyd. Sweeney and Anderson's presence may be the only saving grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I am hoping Sweeney will break out today. So far I have been a bit disappointed by his performance. Early in the offseason he was my pick to win the CF job in ST and start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Sweeney could dearly use another year in AAA, so I'd like to see him fail in ST, as strange as it sounds. He has a chance to blossom in Charlotte, but would likely just be f***ed with in the majors.

I really hate it when people use the term 'rushing' when the player earns the job. Rushing a player to the bigs is like what was done last year w/ Anderson. He didn't earn the job, but awarded the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather have him try and continue to develop as a corner outfielder in Charlotte, because that is his future. Anderson wasn't rushed. He just didn't hit in the majors.

Heads22 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Interesting things to observe.... Â How does Iguchi look as leadoff? Sweeney will be in LF, as the two hitter.....a likely future scenario. Can Eduardo keep mashing? Can Anderson keep heating up, and does it make a difference if he's not batting between the black hole of Juan and Pods? Is Fields holding his own? Why is Andy Gonzalez considered a prospect of any type? What can our new top catching prospect show us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a nice gage for our 5th starter candidates to get some work against a nearly complete big league lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
