2010 Spring Training Discussion Thread

Re: 2010 Spring Training Discussion Thread

They're called split squad games. Basically that, different lineups for each game.

To expand on that a bit usually the A squad with most of the major leaguers or guys who will probably be called up this year or next are the ones that play at home and the B squad will have a sprinkling of the current roster guys but mostly minor league kids are on the road.


Anywho, to no surprise for Blue Jays fans Shaun Marcum has been named the #1 starter. The rotation is set to be Marcum, Romero, Morrow, God, I can't spell his name i'll just use his nickname Zep and Tallet. (who's been stinking it up this spring) Tallet will most likely only be in the rotation for the first month of the year and once the 5th starter is more regular then either Brett Cecil, Dana Eveland or Dustin MaGowan (if he's healthy) will take that spot.

I thought for sure he ate the wall the first time I watched that vid, but I guess he just kind of rolled into it. IMO, that was better than the Jim Edmonds over the shoulder catch from years ago because the ball was fading away from him. The Gary Matthews Jr. catch is still the best catch I have seen in my lifetime.

Milton Bradley went Tony Montana on us "You need people like me, so you can point your finger and go, 'There goes the bad guy."

I know it's his first action of the Spring, but I hate Carlos Silva already.

Once again with qualifier that it's still the Spring, but the more I see him pitch, and the More Milton opens his mouth, I'm liking the trade more and more.

He had a nice outing today, and I think all of us cubs fans are hoping he will do good despite what we think now(I'm still skeptical, but I'm rooting for him to do good).

Anyone see Marlon Byrd's huge knot on the side of his head after getting hit on a pickoff attempt at first? Ouch.

I know it's spring but...

Fausto Carmona: 20 IP, 2 BB.

Re: 2010 Spring Training Discussion Thread

Looks like Jason Frasor is going to get the closer's job which is great as I feared Cito would give it to "moonraker" Gregg who's been stinking it up all spring.

On another note, I sure hope Jose Bautista can continue this great hitting when it matters.

BTW any Red Sox fans wanna tell me how Scutaro is looking this spring?

Offensively nothing to write home about: .154 avg, 1 HR, 3 RBI's. Though he only has six hits 3 have been for xtra bases. Defensively he and Pedroia seem to be meshing well and honestly since he is likely to bat 9th his glove matters more anyway.

Ah I see, It'll be interesting to see how he does offensively at least as some feel that last year was his major outlier year.

Time will tell.

Peavy says he's ready after giving up 12 hits & 7 runs in 7 IP during a minor league game...ok buddy.

But the biggest story...WTF the reporter said Peavy was LEFT HANDED! Seriously man...wow!

The fact that he gave up 12 hits, 7 runs, in 7 IP in a minor league game tells me he was pitching to get as many innings in as well as being "ambushed" by the minor league hitters. Spring Training stats really never matter regarding Jake Peavy, just keep him away from the World Baseball Classic.
