Monday, March 22, 2004Daily rundownMore reassignments Five more players were reassigned to minor league camp: LHP Dusty Bergman and Pete Zamora, 1B uber-prospect Casey Kotchman, SS Brian Specht, and C Tom Gregorio. Coming into camp both Bergman and Zamora had very slim shots at taking a place as the lone-lefthander in the Angel's pen, but I guess they failed to impress. Specht was probably the surprise of the spring, hitting .371. That should earn him substantial playing time in Salt Lake this season. Molina, Anderson back in action Bengie Molina and Garret Anderson both returned to the Angel's lineup over the weekend. Molina had been suffering from tightness in both hamstrings that caused him to miss 15 games. Anderson is still battling shoulder tendinitis, but made his first appearance of the spring on Saturday. He was held out of Sunday's game so he could get two more days of rest. Jose Guillen has also been suffering from a rib-cage injury, but you wouldn't know it to look at him: he is batting .407 with 5 HR and 10 RBI- all team highs. Brendan Donnelly's broken nose is a bit more serious however. He underwent his third surgery in two weeks to "cauterize blood vessels in his nose." There is no timetable for his return. He could conceivably start the season on DL. Cookie pushers The Girl Scouts of America (or as I like to call them "the OPEC of the baked-goods industry") are once again pushing their delicious drug on the general public. As I write this, empty boxes of "Thin Mints" (which have the addictive quality of crack cocaine, coffee, and nicotine all in one) surround me, and all I can think about is where I can find a box "Frosted Oatmeal" cookies, which have, sadly, been discontinued. And just like OPEC, they make us Californians pay more! I'm outraged- yet helpless to stop myself. It is a vicious cycle... |
