    While the big team is s***ing the bed, some of the prospects are off to a great start. Bo and Brad Jones are 1st and 2nd in BA in low A, Jansen 2nd in High A, Alford leading the league in AA and Dwight Smith having a good year in Buffalo. Looks like there is some hope for the future.

    He was at extended due to a hamstring injury...maybe reinjured it. Really want to see him play a bit before I leave.

    Looks like I missed a good game tonight in Dunedin. Gurriel finally playing with the Baby Jays. Pentecost, Biggio and Kelly continue to hit...Perdomo with a good outing. Looking forward to watching Zeuch tomorrow.

    I saw Reyes the other day but was watching Pentecost and Gurriel on another diamond...just noticed how big he looked. Will spend more time following him. Thanks.
  5. spats
    I remember those 2 names now. Will keep an eye out for them.

    Thanks for the kind words. Retirement is treating me well. I love coming down here in April to watch Dunedin Jays and extended spring.Girlfriend heads back tomorrow , so I can spend more time at the parks. Not much to watch at extended now that Pentecost has been reinstated with Dunedin and Palacios is in Lansing. I'm not familiar with some of the players from the DSL but if there's someone you can think of, let me know and I'll keep an eye out for them. Gurriel is the only one I want to watch right now. As for the start of the Dunedin season, other than Pentecost, it would be Juan Kelly. He never gives up an at bat..always working the pitcher. Don't how he projects however...he is short for a 1st baseman and the Jays don't need another DH type. Jansen is also having a great year and Biggio shows some promise. Will see Zeuch tomorrow night.

    They stole second twice but Romano was responsible for one of them, not holding the runner close. The game went into extra innings and I left after the ninth... Jansen came into the game to replace Max. From what I saw, he looked good behind the plate but i'm no catching expert.

    Pentecost catching tonight in Dunedin.

    Pentecost did not catch tonight ( DH). I wonder if he still needs more work or he may be alternating with Jansen who is on fire.Tale of 2 Boruckis tonight. First 4 innings he was lights out, striking out a ton with an incredible slider and a 92-94 mph fastball topping out at 96. Had an error behind him in the 5th and it seemed to unnerve him..got hit hard in the 5th and 6th. I'm really starting to like Juan Kelly..he really battles at the plate fouling off a number of pitches his second at bat before lining a double into the gap. Btw, Pentecost should have had better results at the plate..hit a bullet to right fielder and next at bat put one on the roof behind the bullpen just foul opposite field. Would have been one of the longest homeruns I've seen at Florida Exchange.

    No sign of Pentecost at the complex today...hopefully he'll be catching tonight for Dunedin. Gurriel played today, not sure of his timetable or placement, although he's listed on the Dunedin roster. Will report after the game tonight.

    They wanted him to get some work in catching, so rather than putting him on the Dunedin team DL, they just assigned him to Vancouver. He caught today in extended spring and you can read his progress in my post ( news from Dunedin) They will re-assign him when Dunedin returns home this coming week. Expect him to catch some games next week for Dunedin Jays.

    Did I get in this time?

    Can you let me know if I'm in? Keep getting sign up message.

    From a friend who stayed to watch the rest of the game this morning- Pentecost threw out a runner stealing second easily and handled everything behind the plate flawlessly. Meanwhile Gurriel played 3rd on the other diamond and my friend was impressed that he ranged to his right on a slow roller, looked the runner back and still threw out the guy at first. He also hit a deep HR to left after 2 doubles yesterday...one to each field. I am excited about this kid. Off day tomorrow. Will be at the Dunedin game on Monday.
  15. spats
    I was only there a couple of innings but he rifled the ball to 2nd after the warm up pitches. Good accurate throws.
  16. spats
    Early game today at complex. Couldn't stay long..have to pick up my girlfriend at the airport. Pentecost was catching and looked good behind the plate. Pat Borders, Ernie Whitt and Pat Hentgen with a watchful eye on the proceedings. Hope to see him catching when the baby Jays return next week. Will keep you posted.
  17. spats
    Will they win another game this year? Need to shake things up.

    Palacios played today...only saw one at bat since I spent most of the time at the other diamond watching Gurriel. Gurriel drove a line shot double into the right field corner in his first at bat and just jogged into second.. I think he's nursing a hammy injury. No sign of Pentecost , so I asked a gentleman, who looked like a coach, about him and he wasn't sure but the guy next to him said that they kept him back from the road trip to get more work and would catch tomorrow before being reinstated next week. I didn't realize at first but that guy was Pat Hentgen. Never know who you'll see at the complex. Will report on Pentecost tomorrow. Btw, Reggie Pruitt is really fast... scored from first on a single when the outfielder bobbled the ball. Also a Mitch Nay (remember him) sighting...hit one to the warning track.

    Something's going on with Pentecost. Saturday he homers, Sunday has a double and looks good in both games. Dunedin goes on a road trip for a week and he is assigned to Vancouver. If he was hurt, they could just put him on the DL. Extended spring games start today and I'm wondering if he will finally be catching and then they can reassign him later. Will post later if I hear any news.
  20. spats
    I think I got in. Can you let me know?
  21. spats
    Extended starts next week. I'll look for Palacios...really like him.
  22. spats
    Good news and bad from the Dunedin Jays tonight. Good news- Pentecost with a homer and a line double to left plus stellar defence at first..made a nice play going to his left to prevent a double. Ryan Cook with a strong 3 innings in relief. Free tickets to the game and free movie tickets when the baby Jays win on a Saturday. Bad news- Zeuch left at the top of the second before he even faced a batter after a good first inning. The only positive I can offer is that he didn't seem to be in any distress. Hope it's nothing serious.
  23. spats
    I didn't get an invite.
  24. spats
    Haha. Actually it was over $6500.

    Missed Dunedin's first game...a loss to Clearwater as I was at the Trop for the Jays game. As you probably saw for yourself, Tulo and Martin look lost at the plate...hope they break out soon. Morales blast was a no doubter the moment it left the bat. I would guess that more than half the people there ( there weren't many) were Jays fans. Nice that the attendance is so low, we were able to sit anywhere. For today's game and tomorrows, the total cost of my tickets was $22.11. ..$15 tonight (senior special every Thurs) and a promo every Friday from 7-Eleven...3rd deck tickets for $7.11. Of course, I won't be sitting in the 3rd deck. Gotta love it I hope they never leave the Trop. Will be at the Dunedin games on Sat and Sun.
