Despite the fact that a lot of these performances came off guys who will be bagging groceries in a couple of weeks (and some off of guys who are still in college), it's still nice to get a chance to see prospects in action during the early parts of Spring Training.
- Fernando Martinez, who already seems like he's been around forever, had an RBI Triple, notes Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Brandon Hicks homered for the Braves, and Jason Heyward drew another walk (his third in 2 games) and hit an RBI double off of Eddie Kunz, whom the Mets are still waiting on, according to Marty Noble of MLB.com. Mike Minor also appeared for the Braves and threw a scoreless inning, Bowman reports.
- Koby Clemens hit a home run off Matt Lindsrtom in an Astros' intrasquad game while playing first base, reports Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
- Not only did Josh Bell hit two home runs against the Rays on Wednesday, but one was off of Matt Garza and the other he hit right handed, reports Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun. The display impressed Orioles' manager Dave Trembley, notes Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com.
- Scott Sizemore turned a double play in the Tigers' latest spring contest without any flashbacks to his gruesome Arizona Fall League injury, notes Jason Beck of MLB.com.
- Lonnie Chisenhall homered off of Fausto Carmona in an Indians' intrasquad game, reports Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
- They may have been playing against Boston College, but it was still promising to see Red Sox short stop Jose Iglesias clear the bases with a double, reports Ian Browne of MLB.com. He may be a professional, but the 20-year-old Iglesias is the same age (or younger) than many of the BC players he was facing. The day before, Casey Kelly got his chance to face college hitters, mowing down 3 Northeastern hitters en route to a perfect inning.
