Friday 2/29 Spring Training

EstreetPicks

Pretty much a regular



The Tribe will give the starting nod to right-hander Paul Byrd, but the attention-grabber will no doubt be the Indians debut of Japanese import Masa Kobayashi, who is scheduled to throw one inning in the game while the Astros will counter with right-hander Roy Oswalt

The Indians will play their first road contest of the 2008 exhibition season against the Houston Astros at 1:05PM EST in Osceola County
Stadium… RHP PAUL BYRD will make his spring debut for the Indians against RHP ROY OSWALT of the Astros… Also slated to pitch for the Indians
are: RHP JOE BOROWSKI, RHP RAFAEL BETANCOURT, LHP RAFAEL PEREZ, RHP MASA KOBAYASHI, LHP AARON FULTZ, RHP TOM
MASTNY, RHP EDWARD MUJICA, LHP SCOTT LEWIS and RHP JEFF STEVENS

Bdeck: The Pirates will take on the Phillies again on Friday, but this time on their home turf at McKechnie Field. Ian Snell will make the start and is scheduled to be followed by Sean Burnett, Elmer Dessens, Evan Meek, Franquelis Osoria, T.J. Beam and Romulo Sanchez.
Chad Durbin is slated to make the start for Philadelphia, with first pitch scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET.







Friday at Reds
Rays—Jackson, Hammel, Sonnanstine, Balfour, Orvella, Houser
Reds—Homer Bailey, Edinson Voloquez, Justin Lehr, Marcus McBeth, Tom Shearn, Scott Sauerbeck, Adam Pettyjohn
The Rays’ travel squad for tomorrow’s game in Sarasota features most of the regulars: Carl Crawford, B.J. Upton, Carlos Pena, Aki Iwamura, Jason Bartlett, Jonny Gomes and Evan Longoria all will be there. It sounds like Rocco Baldelli and Cliff Floyd both will make their spring debut Saturday.
Dioner Navarro is being held back a bit and likely won’t start until Monday, according to Joe Maddon. The Rays want to make sure his throwing is up to full-speed after he missed time early in camp to be with his ailing mother in Venezuela. Shawn Riggans will start behind the plate tomorrow.

Dusty on Homer

Today is Homer Bailey's spring debut. He takes the mound at 1:05 p.m. vs. Tampa Bay at Ed Smith Stadium. There isn't quite the anticipation this year as there was last. I asked Dusty Baker if the fact that's there's less pressure and Bailey had a taste of the big leagues puts him in better position to succeed.

“I think he’s in better position because his mechanics are better, allowing him to throw better strikes," Baker said. "From what I hear, he was all arms and legs last year."

There were whispers last year that Bailey wasn't very coachable. Baker hasn't seen that.

“Sometimes you need to fail to really listen," Baker said. "He’s been all ears basically, which you like in a young player. But sometimes they have to fail before they listen.”

And apparently, it's working.

“Dick Pole told me his side (sessions) were very good," Baker said. "It’s getting better each side. I talked to him and he feels he’s improving, getting better, which is what you want to see.”

Bailey will be followed by Edinson Volquez. Should be interesting. They have similar arms and are competing for a spot in the rotation. Volquez may even have better stuff than Bailey.

"I like his arm," Baker said of Volquez. "I like his arm big time, nice loose arm. We just have to get him to trust all his pitches."

B.J. Upton CF
Willy Aybar DH
Jonny Gomes RF
Evan Longoria 3B
Jason Bartlett SS
Shawn Riggans C

Santana starts for the Mopes..along with Billy Wagner, Aaron Heilman and four bullpen hopefuls

Duaner Sanchez was supposed to pitch in relief today. But nope. The right-hander didn't make the trip to Jupiter and has been pushed back to tomorrow because of what the Mets are calling "normal soreness."
Obviously this raises the eyebrows of anyone familiar with Sanchez's recent past (separated right shoulder after a car accident in '06, hairline fracture in his right shoulder in spring '07) but the Mets are insisting this is no big deal.
"It's nothing to be concerned about," Willie Randolph said. "Don't read into it any more than just the fact that every pitcher sometimes gets up in the morning and doesn't feel right."

Cards starter Adam Wainwright, who will also make his Grapefruit League debut. Billed as the unquestioned Cards ace heading into this season, Wainwright will be followed on Friday by Mike Parisi, Kyle McClellan, Tyler Herron, Randy Flores and Ryan Franklin.

Juan Gonzalez will likely serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter again

Brian Barton, CF

The Twins will host the Red Sox in Fort Myers at 7:05 p.m. CT with Boof Bonser facing Daisuke Matsuzaka​

Mauer will not play in Friday night's Spring Training home opener as expected. Gardenhire said the decision was made to start Redmond on Friday night and Mauer will get the day in Saturday's day game vs. the Red Sox. Joe Nathan, Brian Bass, Kevin Slowey, Phil Humber and Zach Day are also scheduled to take the mound for the Twins​

Red Sox

In the first Grapefruit League contest, the Red Sox will bring a very representative lineup.
Kevin Youkilis, Pedroia, Julio Lugo, Mike Lowell, Manny Ramirez, Coco Crisp and Bobby Kielty will all be in the lineup. Jason Varitek, Jacoby Ellsbury and J.D. Drew will stay back at City of Palms Park and work out.
Daisuke Matsuzaka is the pitcher for Red Sox​




Nick Adenhart, the Angels' highly regarded 21-year-old right-hander, gets the call on Friday at Surprise (12:05 p.m. PT) when the Angels face the Rangers, who will send southpaw Matt Harrison to the mound along with right-hander Robinson Tejeda .
Adenhart, who reaches the mid-90s and has a tremendous curveball and quality changeup, is ticketed for Triple-A Salt Lake but could crack the rotation at some point this season if the need arises.​
















The Spring Training schedule gets rolling at full speed this afternoon when the Royals head to Peoria, Ariz., to face the San Diego Padres at 2:05 p.m. (CST). The Royals turn to right-hander Gil Meche, while lefty Shawn Estes is scheduled to take the mound for the Padres. Not sure if I'll be able to get you the Royals lineup early for every game this Spring, but for today at least...
For the Royals

David DeJesus – CF
Alberto Callaspo – 2B
Alex Gordon – 3B
Mark Teahen – DH
Justin Huber – LF
Ross Gload – 1B
John Buck – C
Damon Hollins - RF
Tony Pena, Jr. – SS
Pitchers:
RHP Gil Meche
RHP Hideo Nomo
RHP Joel Peralta
LHP Jimmy Gobble
RHP Joakim Soria
RHP Brandon Duckworth

Estes vs. Royals

Shawn Estes, the No. 2 starting pitcher for the Padres the last time he pitched for them, will face the Royals today in the club's Cactus League opener at Peoria Stadium. Estes had reconstructive elbow surgery in June 2006. He pitched in Triple-A last summer and had a few physical setbacks. He said he is pleased with how is arm has responded in the offseason and spring training.
The linuep:
Callix Crabbe DH
Tadahito Iguchi 2B
Jim Edmonds CF
Tony Clark 1B
Khalil Greene SS
Michael Barrett C
Scott Hairston LF
Paul McAnulty RF,
Craig Stansberry 3B








Phoenix - You'll see a whole lot of familiar names in the Brewers' lineup for their exhibition game today against Oakland. In fact, it's probably very close to the lineup we'll see much of the season (once Mike Cameron comes off his 25-game suspension).
Here's what we have:
2B Rickie Weeks
CF Mike Cameron
1B Prince Fielder
LF Ryan Braun
RF Corey Hart
3B Bill Hall
SS J.J. Hardy
DH Joe Dillon
C Jason Kendall
RHP Dave Bush
The Brewers are still using the DH, playing an AL team. One thing to look for today is the spring unveiling of new closer Eric Gagne, who is scheduled to work the eighth inning.

Rivera intends to pitch 8 to 10 innings in spring training and probably will not pitch in a game until at least Wednesday.
 
Terry Francona announced the regulars for tomorrow's game against the Twins: Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Mike Lowell, Julio Lugo, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Coco Crisp, and Bobby Kielty are all likely to be in the lineup for the first spring training game against a major league team. Daisuke Matsuzaka will be the starter.
 
Pending lineups, I like the Brewers, Angels, and Indians if they play some starters.

Atlanta should be a safe pick with most of their starters going at home.


If you like to gamble, I also like the Royals @ +114 since I feel SD has almost no threat offensively. Plus its Gil Meche vs Shawn Estes...
 
Is there any reason to believe Boston won't rock Boof & Co?

I realize Oswalt is scheduled for the Astros, but look at the arms Cleveland is bringing. How long can Houston stay in this game?
 
Anyone have an idea of what the mets lineup will look like today? Reyes, Wright, Delgado, Beltran? Any of these guys gonna sit?
 
im phuckin with the Toronto, Houston, and Tampa Bay.. all for one unit..
 
Heres the Brewers lineup. Basically going to be their starting lineup every day in the regular season. Look for them to put up some runs today

With one of them being Suzuki that will probably hurt the pitching staff.
