Today's the day...today is the day pitchers and catchers report to spring training...
It is about damn time...this offseason has been long and dull...
Nolan Ryan is making the rounds, and met with some of the baseball folk. All the right things are being said, and Evan Grant indicates the biggest communication problem right now is that Jon Daniels does a lot of things via email while Nolan Ryan almost never turns on his computer...
Grant also had a blog entry up yesterday with some pre-camp stuff, saying that Gerald Laird and Jarrod Saltalamacchia both look like they are "trimmer and fitter" than a year ago, and that if there's a close call for the righty DH/backup OF job, Kevin Mench is heading to AAA and either Jason Botts or Nelson Cruz will be sticking around.
