Drabek may redeem Halladay trade yet, Hill: Where are the hits?, Gregg does nothing to explain signing

Jose Bautista is almost certainly going to leave this in florida, you can just see it coming. Not one walk.


In the B game, Morrow and Rzep pitched great, Cecil not so great with only fastballs and changeups. I think this is probably a pretty good thing as Cito seems to be hot to have Rzep's kids, and wouldn't touch Cecil with a 10' pole, so it's probably better if he goes to AAA and pitches rather than having an awesome spring and earning himself a spot in the bullpen.


I am beginning to wonder if Snider is going to earn himself a trip to AAA to start the season with his awesome .188 avg. Of course if he gets 3 or 4 hits in his next couple of games the numbers look completely different. But this is spring, no time to be rational.


I believe Arencibia is making the trip to play TB today so another chance to prove he is the future that connot be denied (until he's hitting .160 at the end of april).

Romero keeps it going, Arencibia generating buzz, McGowan takes a big step

The positive continues to outweigh the negative and is starting to pull away. This is all good news for the Jays and their PR, as long as nobody starts talking about even a .500 season. Keep in mind that the only starter this team has that should even come close to 200 innings this season is Romero.

I believe Morrow gets his 2nd start tommorow. And I really hope things keep going well for McGowan and he gets that next simulated start on schedule. The interview I read with atos where he doesn't say he's going to start on the DL was interesting, my assumption being that he could get in some trouble if he even hints it's the plan this early. My mind cannot grasp the idea of him being on the opening day roster.

Jose: don't leave it all in FLA, Wells back to form, Tallet experiment must end

Encarnacion better hury back. Does Hill ever want to hit the ball again? Is Ruiz making his claim for an everyday position.

Maybe I should have put that Ruiz one in the subject. Did Arencibia do anything today.

Big sigh of relief for Marcum, will Bautista awesomeness ever end? Lind hits first hr

I believe Arencibia hit another hr, how will they resist the pressure? When is it time to get nervous about all this walking by Hill and so little hitting?

Bautista: MVP MVP, Morrow unhittable, Overbay to have greatest season ever, bullpen to suck

I think that pretty much somes it up.

Marcum to pitch today, hopefully he can continue the run of 2 innining greatness.

Bastian is sneaking in more references to the fact Halladay was traded. Is this something all writers do or is it just him?

JP Arencibia is the future, the Halladay trade was a disaster, Rzep can pitch 2 innings

I don't know, what else can you take from today's game? I think I'll just do ridiculous subjects summarizing games, that way when I go back I can easily get an idea of the flow of spring training.

Does anybody know if there is a pool for the player who must break camp with the big team but is released by the end of may?

Jays win yay!

Things to be interested in this early in the spring

Let us see, since I previously crapped all over the idea of reading too much into early spring training.

Romero seems to be interested in making adjustments, and understands they are necessary according to this article. He pitched ok in his 2 innings yesterday, the really positive thing being he was pretty efficient with his pitches.

Positive thinking on the Bautista leading off experiment here, and they tangentally mention Scutaro so maybe Cito does think he can re-work that magic.

Bastian does make some more pointless Halladay references, but at least they don't come at the very start of the article.

Drabek pitches today, get your outsized expectations started.
