Got through the spring with no injuries. Played above .500 but the offensive numbers league wide were once again way down.

Watch the Dave Weller kid. He's sneaking up the prospect ladder. Ismael Saldana has another huge spring but the 'new kid on the block' Guiomar Cortezo could not have had a worse spring. In fact we had quite a few bad springs at the plate. Nice to see Mike Haupt getting back to his complete game. I don't expect Hallamore to rip the league apart but a .190/.244/.429 slash line is worrisome. Not much to be done about any of this since everyone is back to zero as of today.

Seb Broomhall needs to be in AAA starting every 5th day. He is out of options and there's no way he clears so I am going to have to put him in the pen for now. Turner and Galindo had great springs as did Mike Allen which makes me feel good about the back end of the bullpen.
My rotation concerns me. Juan Alatorre missed much of the spring with various issues, only getting in 6.2 innings. Luis Samvdio and Jon Naclerio both had atrocius K/BB and K/9 ratios. If you can't get more swings and misses than that there's going to be problems.
