Well, in Gload's first AB he swung at the first pitch and made an easy out.  And just now, he made a nice grab on a liner but terribly botched the throw to Broadway covering 1st base and a run scored.

 

Wait, so the greatest defensive 1b in history made an error?

I'm not at all judging him by this performance. But I still wish we would've taken Carrillo.  I hope Broadway makes me eat crow,  though.

 

How's Carrillo been doing in ST? And yes, I wish we would have taken the local product also.

For all the talk about Gload's great defense at 1st base, he seems to botch a few plays that allow run(s) to score.

 

Man, Uribe has some power. Linedrive single off of 3B Figgins' glove.

I have the same feeling about Cesar. I liked him over broadway.

I don't know what he's doing in the spring so far. But he was ranked the Padres #1 prospect by BA. He pretty much dominated at AA last year.

Carrillo shines: Also continuing to impress with his confident manner -- and sizzling stuff -- was right-hander Cesar Carrillo, the 2005 first-round pick in the First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Miami.

 

Carrillo set down all three Mariners he faced Thursday, going to a two-ball count only once while throwing only one curveball along with his fastball.

 

"I had good life on my fastball," Carrillo said. "I was moving it in and out. I try to throw everything off my fastball.

 

"It felt a lot different being in a Major League game for the first time. But after you throw that first pitch, the jitters are gone."

 

Carrillo, Bochy said, "looked very poised. He was throwing 90, 91 [mph], then jumped to 94 when he needed it."

Is this Broadway's usual stuff? If it is, he was a wasted pick. He is going to get killed in the majors with that stuff. a righty can't get by with an 88 mph fastball in the majors, unless he changes speeds a lot and has really good junk.(breaking balls, changeup) I haven't seen any junk, so maybe he was picked for trade bait.

Kenny, what intrigued you about this guy that made you pick him in the first round? He looks like a AAAA guy to me.

Hes not as good defensively as Konerko and Thome, so I would say hes isnt that great.

Basically, he happened to pitch great towards the end of his season against top collegiate teams, and it boosted his stock big time.
