John Fay has up some details for the Spring Showcase Game on his blog. Among them is that a fan will be randomly selected to throw out the first pitch, the minor leaguers will be signing autographs before the game on the terrace level and the gates open at 5pm to watch the minor leaguers take batting practice. Go check out the link for more details.
John Fay also has up an article on Zack Cozart and his recovery and progression from Tommy John surgery. My favorite part of the entire article though?
“Spring training numbers don’t matter,”
Go read the entire article though, there are some good things in there from Cozart and Baker about his progression this spring with coming back from the injury.
Tom Nichols has up the most recent in his 2012 Dayton Dragons position preview on DaytonDragons.com. In this preview he looks at the starting rotation and checks on Tanner Robles, Stalin Gerson, Mitch Clarke, Justice French, James Allen, Radhames Quezada, Joel Bender and Jean Duque. He also makes notes on Daniel Tuttle, Jacob Johnson, Drew Cisco, Cole Green and Robert Stephenson. If nothing else, the Dragons should have plenty of options to choose from for starters before mid-season.While the rotation may not be as strong at the top as it was last year, it should still be pretty strong with so many quality options.
