    Eduardo Rodriguez throwing. The lefty is out to 90 feet and looks confident following knee surgery.

    Bradley has been an early arrival to camp every year, as far as I know. Not to take anything away from the other guys that also arrive early, but that is something that impressed me with Jackie early on. I've said it before, I probably pull harder for him than I do for any other player. He seems to really want it.

    Porcello needs to keep the beard all season. Good mojo.

    Supposedly price told someone today that the elbow felt good after throwing today.

    I think we need to start the countdown click to the big “pop@!

    Maybe the surgery will end the reoccurring issues with his knee once and for all. We should not rush him back!

    I agree.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    I'm in Florida now so I might be able to catch spring training games for the first time ever. Hooray.

    That trade had the possibility to be a win-win.

    Unfortunately Miller did not return.

    I just would like to see a complete and healthy season from E-Rod.
