From Andro

A game – Borbon, Young, Hamilton, Guerrero, Kinsler, Cruz, Davis, Teagarden, Andrus

Pitchers – Harrison, Hunter, Snyder, Scheppers

Word came down that Kinsler rolled his ankle in warm ups so he is out for today. Ranger’s arent worried. Not sure who they will throw out there instead.

Nope.

I’m serious. I don’t think he’s going to overtake Davis. Last year was his sophomore slump. Davis is a better defender, and has shown he can hit. Yeah he’s going to strike out, but I think he’s going to put it all together at the plate sooner than later.

Well to be fair

Harry didn’t have this kind of velocity for most of his career. Adding a couple mph and a new pitch makes him almost a new pitcher.

by Hull Fan on Mar 12, 2010 3:26 PM CST up reply actions  

Hunter's curve

unless Harrison has done some serious work… none of his pitches are the quality of Hunter’s curve, which is a legit plus pitch.

I think they’re pretty close to each other overall as BORP guys, but I like Hunter’s curve over any pitch Harrison has shown thus far. Given that, I don’t think it’s a given that Harrison is more talented than Hunter.

Arias can’t get enough on his first throw from third to first. E5 wide and short of the bag.

German is gonna make the team.

Baseball Time in Arlington Jorge Alfaro: Really strong with ability to use raw strength to generate power at the plate; strong wrists and fluid hip rotation. Was instructed to take outside FB to opposite field and showed no problem going the other way with pop. Very, very raw behind the plate, but very promising with the bat.
