    Some cuts

    Huge problems, the kid is sent to AAA . How many 20 year olds do you see start at the AAA level?

     

    By problems, I meant swing problems, one's that are glaring enough to where its clear that he needs more than just more at bats.

    If by problem you mean Josh Fields blocking him, then yes.

     

    Good point, I'm just anxious to watch viciedo play. Although Fields can be a beast as well.

    Viciedo must had some huge problems to send him down after 25 at bats, while at the same time hitting homeruns over 400 feet to opposite field. I'm interested in seeing how he does down at the lower levels, hopefully this will piss him off enough to get his s*** together, even though I know he is still young.

    ...just my logic, but seems likely to me.

     

    Chicago

    A.J. and Corky

    A right handed bat to back up Pierzynski. Corky's also the most experienced anyway.

     

    Charlotte

    Cole Armstrong and Chris Stewart

    Cole starts, Stew backs up. Two work horses, who plays most? Lefty, righty platoon perhaps? Both are equally adept hitters.

     

    B'ham

    Flowers and Lucy

    Flowers starts, Lucy backs up. Lucy is the perfect person to mentor Flowers' development and he may be capable of starting once or twice a week. He's tough as nails, so if anybody can at least be a back up catcher after dislocating a knee, Donny can. I saw him take a ball in the dirt off the cup on a cold night and keep playing. Plus, he played the next night.

     

    Not that big of a deal. You walk it off. I'm not sayin the guy ain't tough though.

     

    So far, so good for Marquez

    Marquez looked good against the Cubs, I was there. He's got a strange delivery that looks like it fools hitters. Almost like they expect him to throw faster.

     

    Then again, that's usually how the Cub's hitters look - fooled.

     

    I can't see anything out of the ordinary with his delivery.

    I heard a good interview with Coop where he explained the logic...

     

    He basically said the ball doesn't break as well in the dry thin air of Arizona, so if guys focus on it... trying to get pitches to move, they start screwing up their routine. So, he'd rather have them focus on basic mechanics and hitting their targets until later in the spring.

    coop is the man

    First few outings each spring Coop usually has guys focus on fastballs and getting their location down.

     

    So, it's really hard to judge where pitchers are the first two weeks.

     

    thats true, they did the same thing with floyd last spring, just havin him toss it up there, and every one was wondering they were so high on him going into the season.

    I saw rocknrolla the other day, I expected it to be a lot like snatch, with a lot of action. There was not a lot of action but I thought it was a great movie.
