March 11, 201313 yr all good. Reed had an outside shot but he's fine, will probably make it up at some point.
March 11, 201313 yr Reed, Sanabia, Hand, Jensen optioned to AAA Dyson, Olmos, Ozuna optioned to AA Smith & Gimenez re-assigned to minor league camp Looks like LeBlanc will be our 5th starter Maybe, but Maine Slowey and Koehler are still there too.
March 11, 201313 yr I think it's gonna be Leblanc, but wouldn't mind Maine in at long relief Hope so.
March 12, 201313 yr leblanc has pitched well the last two springs and has done a solid job at the major league level both last year and in 2010. if he can get the hits down relative to innings he can be a very solid mark buehrle type of pitcher.

Koehler won't make it. If he didn't even get a shot in '10 when he was dominating AA, he won't get a shot now. Maine and Slowey could still challenge but LeBlanc is definitely the front runner.
March 12, 201313 yr So, is Petersen on the team? He got in yesterday's game. Actually, Slowey looked pretty good. After giving up that first pitch dinger, he settled in and K'd 5 before the mini melt down in the 3rd. Walks and HBP was his downfall. Koehler evidently had a bad day. Side note.....Relief pitcher Phillips must have a good sense of humor. Wears #66.
March 12, 201313 yr Author So, is Petersen on the team? It's unlikely he makes it onto the Opening Day roster. I think he will be cut in one of the next rounds of cuts.
March 12, 201313 yr So, is Petersen on the team? It's unlikely he makes it onto the Opening Day roster. I think he will be cut in one of the next rounds of cuts. But..but...but..he has a CANNON for a arm. Anyone else in camp that will make the team with a better arm than him? I always thought it was common knowledge that Petey has the best arm, yes, even over Stanton, in the outfield. Or am I wrong?
March 12, 201313 yr Nah - his arm is fine but not elite or anything. And though he hit pretty well in 2011, last year he stunk at the plate. Gorkys can't hit either but he's rated as an elite defensive outfielder and they seem determined to play him, so if he's the #4 OF (giving Ruggs & JP a rest), Petey doesn't have as much use. May as well use someone with more bat, if we have such a thing.
March 12, 201313 yr Am i the only one who doesnt understand why the team doesnt use Sanabia in the rotation? He was called up and pitched very well in his starts before he got hurt last year and with the lack of resources we have as starting options why isnt he int the rotation.

I told Petey on Twitter last year he has a CANNON for a arm and I *think* he replied with a 'LOL thanks' So even he knows his arm ain't a CANNON. -_- Mark Kotsay is Mr. Cannon. He still playin. He old now.

March 13, 201313 yr I think you guys are confusing Petey with Scott Cousins, who had a cannon that was considered the best in the organization...
