Oh one thing I forgot, my father spoke to Alex Cora and asked about the major issue of the spring; Cora’s horrendous beard. Apparently Cora’s girlfriend likes it so he’s stuck with it.

The two signs of the onset of spring are Truck Day and the first Report From The Fort. Glad to have it.

Hey, in the other thread you mentioned Boston's need for a better utility infielder than Arauz. Is maybe David Hamilton the one? Two walks and some clean work at SS, including some competence on a slow grounder in the 8th, yesterday.

Yeah he looked alright at shortstop. I also forgot about Yolmer Sanchez who may or may not fit the bill. My understanding of Hamilton is that he is a slick fielder but not much with the bar.

Also Christian Arroyo was getting reps at third base on Tuesday morning.

“they are patient, I think they have another move.”

Next time you see Speier ask him for next week's winning lottery numbers.
