WRIGHT IS RIGHT?

I don't have a pick in the draft today (day 12 of 20...even I'm getting sick of it, and the draft is the best part of the league), so we'll look at how the club did in Spring Training yesterday.

Everybody's favorite suddenly powerless poster boy, David Wright, smacked a homer against the Cardinals in a 17-11 Mets win.  He hit it off an NRI named Evan MacLane, though, so I can't get too excited.

Kenshin Kawakami went two scoreless against Pittsburgh.  Again, not a terribly difficult feat, but encouraging.

Love this quote from Hunter Pence, who went double-homer-single in 3 AB:  "I love the game. I had trouble sleeping last night," Pence said, drawing a chuckle from teammate Michael Bourn. "I know everyone will make fun of me, but I was very excited and it feels good to get out and play some baseball and play well."  Maybe that is the Astros' problem.  You claim to love the game and your teammates laugh at you.

Brian Matusz struck out four of the five hitters he faced.  The other one...uh, not so good.  Sean Rodriguez took him deep.  We should see alot of that at Camden Yards this year.

Luke Gregerson had a spotless inning against the Mariners, with one K.

Kosuke Fukudome singled and doubled at HoHoKam Park.  Great name for a ball park.

Why do the Angels have so many guys named F Rodriguez?  They got rid of one, and now they have two more, the other Francisco and Fernando.

I think we may get only our second draft-pick time-out.  The league physician is up, and he may be with a patient.  Come on man, what's more important here?
