6 innings of scoreless ball in a Minor League Spring Training game yesterday. Bergesen has had a strong Spring... I would have no problem with him going to AAA, and would want him to - if that meant the difference of losing a Penn, or Pauley to waivers..... but...

As mentioned previously, I question Uehara's ability to go through the 2009 season as a starter, after spending 2007, and 2008 in the bullpen in Japan. I do not question Uehara's likelyhood of starting Game 2 of this season though. While he is a Major League 'rookie',...

Guthrie went 1.2 innings, allowing 7hits, 6 runs, 2 earned, 0 walks, 0 k's. Not an effective outing, but he did get in 52 pitches... Roberts had 2hits, and a walk... Izturis had 2 hits, and a walk... Mora did not play due to injury. Part of the reason for Guthrie's...
