John Fay - Wrapping up a good spring in Goodyear
http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/201...q1uphyrAe/I%3DAnyway, I just wanted to go on the record about how much I enjoyed spring training in Arizona in general and Goodyear specifically.
I loved Sarasota. Siesta Key, where I stayed, is a little slice of paradise. It was a great place to spend six weeks. Sarasota is an old Florida town with a lot of charm and character.
That said, I wouldn’t trade covering spring Goodyear to go back to Sarasota.
From Fay:
http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/201...ardest-part-2/Just wanted to remind everyone that it’s a night game tonight. We’re meeting with Dusty Baker at 3 p.m. (6 p.m. Cincinnati time). I don’t expect to hear anything on the cuts or fifth starter before then.
I’ll post something as soon as I hear.
Article on Bryan Price from his hometown paper:
http://www.marinij.com/sports/ci_14795645"Bryan was available with a great reputation," Baker said. "He communicates well with the pitchers. Everybody I talked to (in Arizona and Seattle), said he was outstanding. Even (the other day), the guys from Seattle came up to me and said, 'You're lucky to have a guy like Bryan Price.'"
Reds minor leaguer Matt Klinker on the difficulty of throwing a breaking ball in Arizona:
http://redlegnation.com/2010/04/02/j...g-to-carolina/Highlights from camp:
- The curve ball is a little harder to throw in Arizona. Drier conditions make getting a consistent grip difficult; a little pine tar or sticky spray helped alleviate that problem.
We'll just refer to Matt as "the Ball Doctor" from now on.Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine
From Jamie Ramsey:
Now it's time to board a plane to Cincinnati...we're due to get back into the Queen City well after midnight tonight. After a fast sleep, a 1pm workout awaits the boys tomorrow at Great American Ballpark...and then it all begins Monday.

An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
