"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
If the answer is no, there's a problem
Fay must be back.
Gray 6th (Ramon Ramirez pitching) Bruce singled to right. Votto stuck out. Gil stung a line drive that Janish made a diving stab on. Third nice play by him. Tatum flied out.
A look ahead to tomorrow's game from Trent. Try to get over your disappointment no Castro tomorrow.
tomorrow's travel roster is up.
If you go to Clearwater, among the guys you won't see are Castro, Gonzalez, Valentin, Bako, Dunn and Junior. Vets usually don't have to go to early-season away games in spring.
The pitchers scheduled for that day are:
Affeldt
Brower
Majewski
Burton
Coutlangus
Adkins
Salmon
Coffey
I'll take the over.The pitchers scheduled for that day are:

Baker on Valenzuela's performance:
"He'll get better," Baker said. "He struggled with his command."
Fay's wrapup.
The home white team beat the visiting gray team 8-2 in the Reds intrasquad game. Drew Anderson was the star. He went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer. Paul Janish looked good. He had a hit and made three sterling plays at short.
"I saw good things," Dusty Baker said. "Jerry Gil looked good. Anderson looked great. (Chris) Dickerson looked good. Janish made the three nice plays. No missed signs. That's what I like."
Johnny Cueto looked very good in an inning of work. He struck out two.
Here's Jeff Brantley scouting report on Cueto: "He looked great. He was 92 to 96 on the gun I saw. But you can throw out all the things good and bad physically. I look for mound presence. I saw that big time."
Valenzuela sucked? At least he's holding true to form.
Most bizarre rule 5 pick ever?
What will they have to do to send him down to the minors? Surely they can't plan on carrying that load on the 25 man roster all season?

I can't imagine the Braves allowing a scary talent like that to get away from them a second time.
