Spring Training Review (last 4 games)

[srbin84]

I just got back from AZ and was very impressed with the team, particularly the young players that played. Brandon Sing and Brian Dopriak took turns hitting homers the whole time I was there. Angel Guzman's stuff looked tremendous. He was a little wild, but I think this is a guy we need to hold onto, even before Hill. Felix Pie looked excellent as well, particularly in the field. He made a very nice running catch and throw to double off a runner in one game while playing right field. If you have any questions about the last four games or players I saw, feel free to ask.

Thanks for the update! I like the way the young guys have stepped up this spring.

Oh yeah, by the way, Marquis Grissom looked terrible. He looks old and slow in the field and didn't drive the ball much at all the whole time I was there, despite significant playing time in every one of them.

I'm sure Marques will be fine by opening day. He's going to have to tell Baker he doesn't think he belongs because Baker will not cut him IMO.

spring training performance doesn't count for grissom. please refer to his 1996 numbers if you wish to evaluate his ability.

Brandon Sing baby.

 

Cut Grissom and teach Sing how to play the outfield. Come on, do something imaginative for once.

Well, it's not like Sing hasn't logged a decent amount of minor-league playing time in the outfield. He's not a good fielder - which is why no one grabbed him in the Rule 5 draft - but he'd be a great choice to platoon with Jones.

I did not know that. It's settled then. Grissom out, platoon Sing with Jones.

 

God, being a GM is fun!!! 8)

Then that makes him a top candidate for Dusty's team.
