Spring Training Update: Game Wrap 03-21-2010

The Giants continued their winning ways with more great pitching and timely hitting to edge Arizona 4-3. Key lines:

Aaron Rowand- 1 for 2, BB. BA= .500.

John Bowker- 1 for 5, HR(2). Bowker making a push for a roster spot.

Brandon Crawford- 1 for 3, BB, SB(1).

Kevin Pucetas- 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 0 K's, GO/AO= 9/5. Pucetas had it going again today. He's matching Wellemeyer inning for inning, run for run in the battle for the #5 starter role, but it's Wellemeyer's to lose. Pucetas will be the backup arm at AAA.

Henry Sosa- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. Henry still has a 0 ERA. Nice to see a couple of K's in this game. I don't see him making the team, but he sure has had an impressive spring so far.

Waldis Joaquin- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K's. Waldis seems to have steadied himself since a rough early appearance or two.

Joe Pun at azgiants.com has some nice pics from the minor league games today. Sounds like Timmy is still finding his release point?

Someone asked about Eddy Martinez-Esteve the other day. Well, Joe has a nice pic of his backside, but clearly showing the name on the back of his shirt. Eddy looks to be in excellent shape. I would think this is the year he moves up to Fresno and sees what he can do there.

Around the League:

Joe Mauer reportedly has agreed to an 8 year, $180 M+ extension with the Minnesota Twins. This will make my wife, who is a Twins fan happy.
