I'm not saying Marcum sucks, I'm just saying calling him the "ace" or even making a big deal of the fact that he's the acclaimed opening day starter is pretty dumb. He couldn't even make it to the 6th inning today. I'm sure there's a good reason, he was probably throwing nothing but changeups or something. But still any talk beyond "we hope he makes it through the regular season healthy", especially in spring training is just dumb, dumb, dumb.
Overbay suffered some kind of injury that knocked him out in the top of the first. Hopefully not serious.
Very nice outing by Cecil today. I assume he was throwing curvy stuff. I think I hope he starts in AAA and pitches great and gets called up when there is an opportunity to start. I worry he'll get stuck in the bullpen doing nothing if he makes the big club.
Any news on Morrow throwing in the bullpen today, did the arm stay attached?
Kyle Phillips with 4RBI and a HR today. Don't think he's going to unseat McCoy though in the "has to make the team gone by may sweepstakes".
You know none of either Bautista, Ruiz or McCoy is likely going to have an above average MLB career. But if even one does it would boost the Jays futures immeasurably.
