Looks like same lineup as yesterday except TT is catching. I thought Jennings was getting the start today. Anyone know who is scheduled to pitch?

Good thing EG and JP are headed out to Arizona. Wilson and Andro just are not getting the job done.

Don't think so.

I don't really know what to expect

but I distinctly remember Feldman having a FB that looked to me like a plus pitch for a couple of his early starts, but that pitch wasn’t the same later on in the year.

From EG:
Elvis Andrus went up the middle with ease to start an inning ending double-play in the top of the inning. Mendoza’s sinker, which completely deserted him last year, appears to be working. He got all three batters to hit the ball on the ground. The batter who reached did so on an infield single.

Arias – best hitter and fielder of the group. Limited to IF except 1B.
Boggs – Switch hitter. Limited to the OF.
Cat – Does he get bought out?
Jones – Doesn’t look good when he can’t get any ST starts with over a month before the season begins.

klaw tidbits
Tommy Hanson (Braves Rotation): 22nd round? Are you kidding me? More scouts and gms whiffed on me than “top” AFL hitters did on my tailing, mid-nineties fastball this winter. How did this happen?

SportsNation Keith Law: Hindsight is awesome, isn’t it? Guess what? First-year junior college right-handers with average fastballs don’t go in the top few rounds. How about giving some credit to Tom Battista, the Atlanta scout who spotted him, and to the club for ponying up for him as a draft-and-follow when Hanson’s velocity started creeping up the following spring? Or would that ruin your narrative?

jsm (dallas): Are you staying in Surprise to see Neftali Feliz? Will we see him in Arlington this year? Should we?

SportsNation Keith Law: I’m going to see Leake tonight at ASU. I’ll see Feliz later in the spring. I’d say it’s better than 50% that he makes his debut at some point this year.

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Chris (Milwaukee): What type of free agent was Cruz? Was it worth it for the Royals to give up a pick to get him for 2 years?

SportsNation Keith Law: Type A. They gave up their second-round pick … I wouldn’t have done it. What’s Cruz worth to them – a win? Maybe it would have made sense if they were already an 85-win team on paper, but not now.
Lungfish (Edison, NJ): Have you read “Odd Man Out” by former Angel’s farmhand, Matt McCarthy?

SportsNation Keith Law: I’m going to wait for the edited, fact-checked version, which I imagine will run between 15 and 20 pages.

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Please tell me that JJ Abrams is re-making this scene.
