Trea sat on a couple of nice pitches and ended up with nothing.

Schwarber needs to channel Rendon with his check swings.

But Slate says he cannot play LF.

Well, Renato Nunez will not exercise his opt out clause and will report to AAA.

Yadiel Hernandez has had a monster spring, does the guy have any trade value at age 33?

Nice outings for Hand, Rainey, and Suero today.

Suero in particular has been impressive this spring. I imagine he will be in more games than any other Nat pitcher this year.

Nothing more Yadiel could have done in ST to make this roster (he hit well over .400 with power). Makes you wonder why he was even invited. Perhaps on the outside chance a DH was approved in the NL?

Try shopping him to an AL club (before he gets even older).

It's conceivable someone could have been hurt or Stevenson could have looked terrible.  IOW, if somebody ahead of him on the pecking order fell flat on his face.  He has 2 more options, so it's likely he'd be squeezed off the active roster if there were any need to manage it.  That said, he's on the 40 man and Parra isn't.

Trying to watch a replay of today's game using the MASN feed.  Just continual technical difficulties.  Had to switch to the trash can feed.

No, especially since he didn't hit in a cup of coffee last year.  He's repeatedly killed AAA.  Teams knew about him then too and he was younger.
