Thanks King. Much Appreciated.
-
What are the best sites and/or twitter follows to keep up on daily reports from spring training? Thanks in advance.

Venditte sent to Seattle for PTBNL. That is a strange trade.

I know Ames well - graduated from Iowa State. A little on Matt (my nephew): You are correct on the velocity - sits 89-92. A few times announcers have said he has touched 94 when watching games, but I have a feeling every stadium gun is going to be a little different. He has lived mainly fastball/slider but has also thrown his change-up sparingly. His command has always been his strength - at every level his K/BB numbers have always been good. They challenged him during spring training to focus on getting lefties out, which he has done pretty well. Obviously he has never been high on the prospect list, but nothing really surprises me with him. He is an extremely humble and hard-working kid. If it ever happens for it him it will truly be deserved - relentless work ethic and has never let the ups and downs of the minors getting him down.

Council Bluffs.

King - sorry if already discussed...

They are still in the top of the 9th - 10-0 now. His pitching count was in the 90s so I am sure he is finished.
-
Matt is finished with 8IP, 0R, 4H, 1BB and 6K. Best pro start so far. Struggled with command in his first two starts this year. He walked only 3 total last year, but had 3 in both his first two starts this year. Tonight he was in complete command - first pitch strike all night.
-
Yeah. Just didn't appear that he could get his command.
-
Nope. Done after 4. Threw a lot of pitches.
-
Struggling with his command. Has more walks tonight than all of last year. Hopefully can get it turned around and get at least 6 innings.
-
King - Matt will be in Lansing tomorrow.
-
He really doesn't know anything yet. My thinking was if they used him as a starter in the spring he would start in Lansing. If he was coming out of the bullpen I thought maybe Dunedin. They are preparing him as a starter, so I am guessing Lansing. I have no real knowledge to base that off, so take it for what it is worth.

Any reports from spring training games out there? Matt has pitched a couple live batting practice sessions, one intersquad and one minor league game against the Yanks team. I don't have specific numbers but, he felt good about the outings and the results.
