Notes: Fifth Starter, Electric Stim and Church’s T
Fernando Tatis was seen walking around the 
clubhouse with an electric stim device and ice on his sore hand.
Tatis was scratched from yesterday’s intra-squad game due to a sore right hand, and he is not in either lineup today.
…there is also some buzz around camp that Freddy Garcia is not 100 percent, and Livan Hernandez may not be ready either, and with Tim Redding being a week or so behind, i’m thinking Jon Niese is in an interesting position right now… garcia is scheduled to pitch in today’s intra-squad game, so all eyes will likely be on him this afternoon…
For more on Tatis’s hand, as well as Ryan Church’s I LOVE NY t-shirt, and a bit more on Jerry Manuel, read David Lennon’s blog for Newsday.
…by the way, as lennon points out, WFAN’s Mike Francesa will be broadcasting from St. Lucie later this week, and i hope church confronts him while wearing the shirt…
Speaking of beat writers, Adam Rubin of the Daily News will be doing a live, online chat from Tradition Field today at 3 pm.
Rubin writes, “As usual, you can stop in a half-hour early to start submitting your questions.”
