[Plympton91]

There hasn't been a Trey Ball sighting yet. What's up with him? Learning to play the outfield in instructional league?

 

[Cesar Crespo]

Extended Spring Training rehabbing from an injury.

 

[Pilgrim]

Espinoza probably done for the day: 5 IP 1 ER 7 K 2 BB.

full season: 15 IP 4 ER 16 K 2 BB

 

[Pilgrim]

Awesome to see Michael Chavis putting himself back on the map. 3/4 with a bomb so far today raises his OPS to around .900.

Devers is really scuffling early

 

[Pilgrim]

Devers is really scuffling early

Hopefully its just some early season flukiness... his K/BB/ISO all look really good.

My heart is all aflutter.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Owens has allowed 10 walks in 18 innings so far against AAA hitters. He needs to stay in Pawtucket until he greatly improves that, he won't get away with those walks against big league hitters.
