pmLinks: Catchers, Adjustments and Spring
In a post to NYFS, the entire staff writes about who will be the team’s back-up catcher, should Brian Schneider and Ramon Castro be unable to start the season on time.
…as i said earlier today, i hope schneider does not play today…give it one more day, and play tomorrow at home at night against the Orioles…
…i seem to be the only person who is not worried about castro and schneider…i don’t know why, but i expect them both to be ready when the season starts…12 days from now…
In a report for the Port St. Lucie News, Eric Phaler writes about David Wright and his ability to adjust to the big leagues without skipping a beat.
Wright, on Jose Reyes being his teammate, as quoted by Phaler:
“Both of us have kind of come up together; we’ve learned from each other. We’ve both made plenty of mistakes, but we try not to make them again. But having a player the same age - you know, kind of the same expectations - playing next to you definitely helps out.”
At the Eddie Kranepool Society, Steve describes this portion of the exhibition season as The Dog Days of Spring.
