Wed, March 8
We started scrimmages this week. They’ve had me playing mostly left field, but a little in right too. I got one hit the first day, took the donut yesterday, but doubled off the wall today to knock in a run. Could have been worse.
Paul Harper walked off the plane Monday and got three hits in our first scrimmage, then got two more today. I think he’s gonna be good. So he and Bendiksen are looking to be starters. Leaves one spot in the lineup out of the other four outfielders in camp. Not good odds for me.
Mon, March 13
Harper and Bendiksen have continued to hit the ball hard and have been batting in the top four during scrimmages. Skip has been rotating the other four of us in with these guys to see who gels and fits in the lineup. I’ve mostly been in the six and seven spots in the order. Not exactly where the cream of the crop hits. Meanwhile, I missed a cutoff man yesterday and struck out twice. Nice last impression.
After today’s practice, we say goodbye to the CSU Convocation Center and travel to Canada to take on Ottawa and Toronto in our first two spring exhibition games. Time for the real thing.
