If there are any things more useless than spring stats, its spring stats in a small sample!
But you do have to like to see Travis Snider being 3-6 with 4 walks.
Jeff Blair had an intersting blog update the other day about how to
balance Snider's bat with his fielding and baserunning. It sounds like
he'll start in AA this year, and I figure you might as well push the
bat as far as it'll go. I could be wrong, but I figure you can work on
fielding and baserunning just as well in AAA as you can in Rookie ball
(and possibly better at higher levels as I presume you'd have better
instructors there).
Jays - Pirates today! Loser is at the bottom of the Grapefruit League standings.
Which reminds me, I saw Bob Elliot's 'lame duck manager' article the other day. I swear those are mad-lib type articles for sportswriters. You see the same thing every year for every manager/coach in every sport in every city. Final year of the contract! They'll lose control of the locker room!
