cowley's camelback press box review: FAIL

New ballpark looks great. Press box, well, not a lot of thought put into it. As far as the crowd gathering outside, a lot of LA Love.

Should just name this place what it is – Dodger Stadium East – with the Sox being the uncle no one likes renting the guest house.

There's huge excitement from the Dodgers end

They previously had the probably the most recognizable spring training home, DodgerTown. They’d trained in Florida since before they moved to LA. Now they moved from a cross-country flight to a distance close enough to make a day of it.

I mean do we care that the Sox moved from Southern AZ to less-Southern AZ? They got 2 hours closer, by car. Woopee!

But for Dodger fans, who’ve known only one spring home, this is a huge move (which is why I didn’t balk when I saw their pricing. It was only when the Sox matched the pricing that move really started to look shitty from a Sox fans perspective.

I think there is a pretty high amount of Chicago Ex-Pats in that area though

The Bears are a huge draw when they play the Cardinal… not saying they are going to pull in people anything like the Dodgers though.

sox approached by toronto for orca sign-and-trade

Could this be the year that the sign-and-trade comes to fruition in Major League Baseball? Possibly. That’s one way a team like the Toronto Blue Jays that doesn’t want to give up a draft pick to land a free agent can still do business in this market.

"Just like the NBA," one general manager said recently. "It’s something we ought to look at putting in the collective agreement."

There’s no subterfuge involved under the current agreement. It’s been doable, but requires a great deal of trust and creativity. In fact, this is something that the Blue Jays have discussed with at least one and possibly two teams this spring, according to Major League sources. One of those teams is the Chicago White Sox, who, according to sources, were approached about re-signing Orlando Cabrera, the free-agent shortstop in whom they have no interest, then turning around and trading Cabrera to the Blue Jays for a reliever or a minor-league position player.

i think it's agreed upon.

and the dodgers sure burned through a lot of pitchers last inning. dunno if they have anyone left for potential extras. usually the teams will have a guy available just because they carry an extra arm or two in case someone makes a lot of pitches and can’t finish an inning per schedule or something.

I wouldn't be surprised if Harrell was working on a split

and then he or the team told people it was something else. I trust Stone’s analysis as much as anyone’s, and it looked like a splitter to me. It dropped straight down and looked like it had tailing action. I don’t blame him though, he’s already had a major surgery so whatever helps him produce from here on is probably the best for everyone.

by Daniel Berlyn on Mar 1, 2009 7:46 PM CST up reply actions

which way did it go on which batter?

split/change isn’t going to be determinable, but apparently he doesn’t have one. if it moved arm side, it’s probably a change. glove side, slider.

I don’t have the video, but Stone specifically thought it was a split due to it’s “drop” action. If that was a slider, I want him to teach it to every fringe guy in the system.

I know that probably 2 of those 4 won’t pan out. Allen just seems to bring a lot of things to the table that our present first baseman hasn’t done in a few seasons. Throw in the fact that he can also run the bases well and I’m practically gitty. What’s the worst that Allen could project to do in 2010 – .250 Ba 20-25hr play a good defensive first and run the bases well…? that’s an upgrade over paulie’s production?
