One More Scrimmage

The last, yes last, pre-season tilt happens today against the Twins. Yesterday, Jackie Bradley, Jr., Drake Britton & Ryan Lavarnway were optioned to Pawtucket. Mike Napoli hit his 4th HR of the spring. Felix the Cat Doubront pitched 5 scoreless innings. And Grady Sizemore was named the starting CF. Jake Peavy gets the final start today versus the Twins in Florida. Then it's off to Baltimore on Sunday for Monday's opener at 3:05. It's been a healthy spring, minus a few finger issues that all resolved themselves. This team is strong & deep once again. Kudos to Ben for finding a diamond in the rough like Grady Sizemore! Grady is a great veteran addition. And nice moves to strengthen the bullpen with guys like Mujica, Badenhop & others. You have to like the composition of this team as they break camp. Time to get the regular season going!
