Morel 3rd? That's fun. Keep it going kid!

According to Gameday, Volquez pumping it up there at 95mph in early spring. Should help them get their timing down...?

Well, despite Gavin giving up a few hits, it seems like he is putting on a pretty good show for the Jays scouts that are watching him. 4 K's to 0 BB through 2 IP so far.

 

And speaking of Jay's scouts, I got to stand behind one and listen to him talk to a Jays trainer last week. I wish he would have been talking about specific players, or if I could have asked him about scouting Gavin, but either way, it was interesting to hear what he was talking about.

Hey dudes look, points.

Lillibridge doubles in Konerko. 3-1 Sox, mid 4

 

Hope he gets 300 PA's. No more. No less.

Floyd--

 

4 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 0 walks, 5 k's

apparently he's our only good starter

Is anybody listening to the San Diego radio play by play guy?

He sounds a little nuts.

No, but did Morel leave and is Leesman in for Floyd?

 

The boxscore is all over the place.

 

edit: nevermind. Leesman is in, getting hit. Marinez coming in. Can we get some roster cuts one of these days?

 

Morel still in there.

Lillibridge makes an error at short. That's what will happen if you go to the well too often with a bench player.

I think what little chance Leesman had of making the roster is gone with his showings so far in the spring.

 

Floyd helping his trade value, that's a nice.

Seems like that makes him a trade bait kind of guy. Trade your best you know.

He turned three DP's ysterday I think and then made an error. He is getting SS down again after being in the OF almost all last year. He will do fine IMO

I agree, as a backup. If he starts 10 games each at 3B, SS, 2B, and CF, I have no problem with that.

Might be time to start talking about this Hector Gimenez as a backup catcher instead of Flowers.

At least the Sox have reached mid-season form for GIDP.

Danks--double, single. Hitting .357

Bruney strikes out the side in 7th.

 

Makes you remember its only spring training.

Well, so far the results are not encouraging for the regime change.

 

Let's see where we are in 2 more weeks.

 

Lillibridge, for a natural SS with the Braves, has made some Ramirez-esque errors that make me question whether he could ever be an everyday player at that position.

 

Leesman, goodbye.

 

Bruney getting a leg up with Hector Santiago on the 5-6 bullpen jobs. #7, well Castro and Axelrod haven't impressed, up in the air. Maybe Stults. Maybe a late in the spring waiver wire acquisition.

 

Padres, by the way, have 6 Top 100 BA prospects.

 

And yeah, that Padres announcer....the way he hesitates and pauses while he's annoucing, almost like he's breathless, is driving me absolutely crazy. Almost impossible to listen to.

 

 

Mitchell with a single to right field off Street.

 

...and Street promptly picks him off.

Goodbye, Mitchell.

 

Off to minor league camp for you.

 

You never, ever, try to steal 2B down by this many runs in the 9th unless you're 100% sure you're going to get the bag.

Might be time to start talking about this Hector Gimenez as a backup catcher instead of Flowers.

I was at the game (been to all the games) and that is exactly what I told my daughter. I doubt it would happen but it should. I also hate to admit it, but so far, I'm thinking the Tank may need another year at Charlotte.
