I don't see the urgency for the Dodgers to deal Howell, he's been steady for them and good playoff performer, unless they are filling another hole (haven't followed them, but maybe they have one?). Same with the Rockies and Brothers, who I don't see getting dealt unless it fills another hole.
Matusz on the other hand seems like an odd man out situation. O's are trying to keep Verrett and their other Rule V pick. They're a somewhat budget conscious organization. I think it's likely they deal him, the question is just cost.

No great surprise, but a #Mets source acknowledges Sandy Alderson is talking to multiple teams about acquiring lefty relief help.
Though if the bats stay hot it may not matter. This season can't start fast enough.
has a beautiful swing. Online they are question how he hit .226 in A ball with that swing. Thought he might be a utility guy, might end up a whole lot more than that. Like Backman said, the more you watch him, the more you like him

He actually changed his swing before last season. Worked on it all offseason before 2014. It obviously worked.
Reynolds changed a lot of opinions early in the spring, quietly. Now he is getting more of the media and fans attention. Nice to see hard work paying off. Bowman was the other quiet star the first two weeks of spring. Opened some eyes real wide. Great to see him make some more noise against some real competetion!!

Weren't you bashing me about Reynolds a few weeks ago? jk. ;)
In a Triple-A appearance Wednesday as he works back from Tommy John surgery, Parnell sat at 87-91 mph with his fastball.
Still, Warthen said: "It's where it should be."
Warthen suggested Parnell's velocity will be more normal in a week to 10 days, when he gets more games under his belt and builds up arm strength. The coach added that pitchers typically pick up a couple of miles per hour on their fastball from adrenaline once they get into a major league stadium and with regular-season games at stake. Link - ( New Window )
I'll be the first to admit it. I was always the furthest thing from a Reynolds fan personally. Couldn't ignore last season, and he has blown away this spring. Very impressive.
about his defense. He has shown a ton of range and a strong arm. If you were looking hard enough, you would have seen snippets all over the internet last year of scouts, coaches, ect saying he could play SS at the ML level. Well, he's proving it.
Monday and Im not even remotely excited. So over spring training. lol.
Have fun. I've never been to a ST game. Be cool to see some of the guys who will be in the minors.
That sucks PJ. Come down here and go to one sometime. Its great. Super relaxed. Can talk to the pitchers in the bullpen. Walk around. Lay out. Its a different kind of experience. lol.
ESPN. Cubs at Angels and they are doing a special on Harvey showing his highlights of the spring mid-inning(weird). Said they would take him over Kershaw. lol. Asked why? His temperament.
for mentioning Reynolds as some depth at SS a few times over the offseason. All good though. ;)
If it was in the offseason, I can't deny it is possible. Sure your not confusing him with Tovar???
Z - if you like spring games, see if you can catch a practice or a minor league spring game. Spring is great, but those will turn you back into an 8 year old all over again. And if you're a true nut, catch a GCL game. More fans at a tee ball game than those. No exaggeration... Those are all true fan experiences.

Yeah, I keep saying one of these years I will. My father lives north of Orlando and he goes occasionally to a game (Braves?) or Astros when they were in kissimmee - if they were playing the Yankees. He's a Yankees fan.
It just never worked out yet with the kids and school vacations.

Hey Sheck! Thanks. Ive been to a couple. I made it up to Savannah once. Ive also gone to couple St. Lucie games. Ive been meaning to make it to a Cyclone game one of the next times Im up in NY as well.

It was Sabathia. ;) He did rope a single off Price though.
2.) Herrera
3.) Reynolds
4.) Plawecki
5.) MDD
6.) Puello
7.) Muno
8.) Allen
Wow.

Nice game.

We are going to be good for a looooong time. Anybody still think we should have traded Thor for Alexei Ramirez?? Ah. Wont this season start already!
