Spring Training Tidbits

-Baek has stated that if he does not make the team out of spring raining he will refuse his right to go back to the minor leagues if he passes through waivers and sign with another team.

-Mike Morse has been making his case to make the final roster spot as the 4th outfielder. Morse has scorched the ball so far in the first few games and looks like the favorite to win the job.

-John Mclaren is putting an emphasis on being more aggressive on the base paths to try and get more players to go from first to third on base hits more often then last year.

-Mclaren has also stated that the 4th outfielder job will probably be a right handed hitter which would leave Jeremy Reed as the odd man out in the competition with Wlad, Morse and Jimerson as Reed is the only left handed hitter of the group even though he has hit the ball well so far this spring.
