spring training

so i havent blogged anything about spring training, mostly cos we all know it means little to nothing. but as it comes to a close this week, here are a few random thoughts about my team:

  • boyfriend rich hill didn't look so hot his first few outings. but its ST, so its pretty inconsequential. im encouraged by his last start, which was pretty decent
  • alex cintron's stint as a cubbie is over. not surprising, as we already had a surplus of infielders who were better than cedeno. and that guy made the team, pretty unbelievable.
  • the brian roberts deal is not going to happen. hardly shocking. while baseball trades/deals are complicated, if they are going to happen, they never take this long. im glad that the guy who played hard (despite injuries and a heart condition) is the one who's going to be manning 2nd base. go DE-RO!
and here are some random thoughts about happenings around the league
  • can i get a job putting on 20 lbs a year for 19 mill per year the way miguel cabrera did?
  • i'm happy joe crede has a job, but i would have preferred for it to have been with SF, so i could watch him live more often. apparently i'm the only one who likes crede in the bigs while fields is sent down. and we all know how impartial i am. or not.
  • will modern technology be able to measure how bad the SF giants are projected to be this year? $123 million ace barry zito got beat by the giant's own minor league team today. that's pretty pathetic. hey guys, do you want me to play? i can lose to the fresno grizzlies too, and i bet for cheaper as well. at least you can save some money
