Two weeks into spring training we had our first cut down day. The AA guys and some non roster guys were sent to their minor league camps.
Ontiveros is out of options and had to be placed on waivers. The battle for the last OF spot is intriguing as
Dave Gallagher is hitting .500 in 14 ABs, while
Kevin Ward is just 1 for 13,
Gary Varsho is hitting .222,
Meadows is hitting .154 and then
Keith Miller is hitting .185 with 4 SBs. Its possible I could keep a sixth as
Gary Varsho and
Keith Miller can both play multiple infield spots as well. SS
Walt Weiss is 0-6 which is worrisome after his 1 for 23 start to last year. FA signee
Paul Gibson has pitched OK but 6 walks in 8 IP is concerning.
Greg Hibbard, 8 IP, 1 BB, 1 ER, 2 K;
Isreal Sanchez, 8 IP, 2 ER, 4 BB, 5 K; and
Kevin Appier, 4 IP, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K are holding thier own.
