February 27, 200917 yr Whats up with CoCo? Gave up 2 earned. 1st appearance in spring training, I don't think we need to get too worried this early.
February 27, 200917 yr I heard he gave up a couple of infield singles and a homerun, so hopefully that was only 1 bad pitch.
February 27, 200917 yr How is Alonso doing? Is he in the picture for 09? I read he had a 2 run error at first against the Twins.

February 28, 200917 yr Juan Francisco with another good showing as well. I think he's going to be a good one in time, real good.:ylsuper: That kid has unreal upside. He could be a monster.
February 28, 200917 yr That kid has unreal upside. He could be a monster.He's going to have get a little control of the strike zone. A 7-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in the low minors isn't a good indicator of success as he moves up the ladder.
February 28, 200917 yr He's going to have get a little control of the strike zone. A 7-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in the low minors isn't a good indicator of success as he moves up the ladder. 62 walks and 353 strikeouts in 1,426 minor league at-bats. Agreed but he is really young and is a very free swinger right now. Once he gets some more coaching and experience he will be able to start to control it better. At least that's what we all hope. He set a winter league record for most HR's by a lefty.
February 28, 200917 yr 62 walks and 353 strikeouts in 1,426 minor league at-bats.Yeah, and it's getting worse the higher he goes ... 42 and 284 in two years of Class A ball. Agreed but he is really young and is a very free swinger right now. Once he gets some more coaching and experience he will be able to start to control it better. At least that's what we all hope. He set a winter league record for most HR's by a lefty.It's just awfully hard to rid a guy of those habits. He's still young enough to work with it, but the odds are probably against him.
