At least when the Rangers announcers on mlb.tv missed that Casas batted for Devers it was lefty for lefty, but mixing up Rafaela (R) for Alvarez (L) shows they need a lot more spring training. Hey they held Ceddanne without a hit, all he did was drive in a run with a sac fly and rob a hit with a diving catch ho-hum.
ETA: apparently the mlb guys are confused as well since they credited (debited?) Alvarez out to C-Dan in the box score.
ETA II: Box score now corrected.

Seeing Mark Kolozsvary catching. I get the team needs to carry three catchers during Spring Training but he's 28 and pretty obviously an org guy at best. What is the thinking in having Kolozsvary with the MLB club when Teel is so polished? Is it just that Teel is getting a lot more work in minor league Spring Training than he would be if he was backing up Wong and McGuire?

Kolozsvary is there because he's one of the depth catchers in AAA. You don't really use a guy headed to AA for that sort of thing.

Westbrook is atrocious defensively, every time I turn the game on he’s making a bad play lol

My takeaway.
Finally acclimated to mostly day games and now....
Newbies Fitts, Campbell and Weissert all looked great to me. Hagenman not so much (not a fan of loopy secondaries).
AAAA Bobby struck out with the bases loaded but did make an excellent play at 3B when Martin was pitching.
Abreu is chasing pitches that he let go by last year.

Just my take, but it seems to me that Abreu's timing is slightly off. He's also hit a few hard shots that were directed right to fielders. I think he'll be fine when he catches up to the pitching.

Looks like all three catchers in Worcester are almost player coaches. Highly experienced older catchers who know how to call a game and handle pitchers.

I have been watching Abreu pretty closely and he has been having several long at bats fouling off a lot of pitches but many times they have been ending up in a strikeout. that doesn't bother me because he is seeing a lot of pitches and will catch on soon I fee. what concerns me on the other hand is that it is getting into his head a little and he has been chasing pitches lately and losing the patience I saw earlier.
