Spring Training!!!

The boys are back in town, the boys are back in toooowwwnnnn! Well, not quite. Catchers and pitchers reported to Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Florida today. Workouts start Friday, February 17th. Two of the pitchers will be a few days delayed due to visa problems; Ricardo Rincon and Juan Mateo. Starting catcher, Yadier Molina, has decided to change his number. Molina will be starting his third season in the big leagues with the new jersey number 4. This means I have to go and get another Molina shirt (oh darn ;) ). The reason: Molina wanted a smaller number. Molina, teammate John Rodriguez, and third base coach Jose Oquendo will not be in camp long however. The three will be leaving to begin preparing for the World Baseball Classic; they will be representing mi abuelo's home land Puerto Rico. I can't wait until baseball starts up full swing again. Until then, I will have to be content with the Olympics and then the World Baseball Classic. Go Team USA and GO Team Puerto Rico!!
