Nick Masset got pounded for three earned runs in one inning against the heretofore powerless Royals, including homers by Kila Ka'aihue and Josh Fields. I was probably the only one paying attention to that, since this game marked the spring debut of Cuban uber-prospect Aroldis Chapman. Chapman looked good, anyway.
Strikeouts continue to be rung up by Brian Matusz, who collected six K's in two and two-thirds shaky innings against the Twins. Jose Mijares had another scoreless inning in that game in Sarasota.
I'm starting to get concerned about the collective lack of hitting by the entire Gunslinger roster this spring. I'd say each of the last three to seven days, I've seen a ton of goose eggs in the hits column. Yesterday it was Hunter Pence, Carlos Quentin, David Wright, Miguel Cabrera, and Alexei Ramirez all taking the collar. I'll have to publish a Spring statistical roundup soon.
Once the draft is complete, I'll start publishing a team-by-team analysis of the competition. Quick take-away: they are almost all better than me.
