Goodwin looking pretty lazy on the bases this afternoon

He sure has.  2 base running gaffe’s in 2 innings, and both appeared to have been from a lack of hustle.

It seemed like last year at this time everyone was talking about it being early when it came to the SPs.   It's early this year too, but it's been night and day with that group.

It's too early in spring to draw conclusions from performance either way. It's good to see how these guys approach their at bats and how over/under matched the young guys look compared to more seasoned talent but in terms of results, wait for the last couple weeks before we start that up.

This new guy Rendon showing some potential....

[Vlad27Trout27]

Anyone else thinking that Sandoval might have front of the rotation stuff? atleast borderline 2 or solid 3? for example a Robbie Ray? if he can solve his command issues?

I think he has an plus FB, 92-96.

a plus change

a solid Slider and a high spin rate Curve.

As I said..  it's early.     I don't put any weight into ST numbers to be honest -- early or late.

Suarez with 3 no hit innings against a solid Col lineup.

He has great stuff. He is Hector Santiago part 2.

Its early in Spring Training, but yesterday Bundy was Reportly around 92/93 on his Fastball. This is a big positive for a guy that was reportly loosing his FB velo.

Yeah, and I won't allow you to be anything other than neutral. haha

He's looked like crap at the plate all spring.   Not sure that's not a good thing with him given his 2018 ST.

He doesn't really have experience playing defense anywhere else, either.

Really.....he has played in 476 mob games.  What position did he play?

Let's just trust Maddon who coached him in Chicago and who is much more knowledgeable than us on La Stella's ability.

It's tough to say, but I could see him being a good number 3 guy in the rotation, even as early as this year. He reminds me a bit of Gio Gonzalez.

Neil Ramirez is serving them up!

[totdprods]

well looks Neil can start looking for a place to rent in SLC. 

[eligrba4ever]

Well, Neil can't say Joe didn't give him  a looooong look. A painfully long look.

Mid-season form, I see.

Even swearing requires some spring practice.

Mickey Callaway sucks this inning
