Rookies to watch

 

Brandon McCarthy, RHP, White Sox: "He's the best young pitcher I've seen this spring," says one AL scout. "He can really pitch. He has a great changeup, outstanding breaking ball and his fastball is enough. The next Jack McDowell." Was 17-5 on three levels.

Gammons also thinks that the Mets are interested in getting Alex Escobar back from the Nationals...

Ugueth Urbina was 87-91 in his second outing for the Tigers this week. The Cubs continue to deny interest. The Mets are interested, as the bullpen and a righthanded-hitting outfielder (they have interest in Alex Escobar) for depth are two issues.

I wonder if Kenny could have gotten more for Escobar from the Mets.

No way. We needed a 40 man roster spot and didn't have time to negotiate with teams to try to make a deal. If we played chicken, we could have lost Escobar for nothing. Plus when you look at our minor league depth charts, even if Escobar makes it, we have some great OFs in our system. Odds are we have someone who will do at least what Escobar does at the major league level, if not better.

I think a more interesting question is if they might be interested in Borchard...
