Yeah thanks, that's the guy, Spaceman Bill Lee level of coolness. I couldn't find anything after 2015, he's apparently out of baseball but wasn't a major prospect anyways.

6 years 53.5 million dollar extension for Kevin Kiermaier. Kind of interesting. The Rays must be souring on Steven Souza longterm or they think Mallex Smith is their longterm LF.
I thought the Smith trade was a signal that Kiermaier was getting traded after this year.

David Laurilla's Sunday Notes has a segment on Cecchini. He talks about trying to adjust his swing to be more powerful going into the 2015 season: He's a poor defensive 1B/3B with a .666 OPS in 357 games (1,396 PA) in AAA. So that closing quote is pretty delusional.

Two immediate thoughts: -Maybe Eric Hosmer, he of the career 107 wRC+ and .151 ISO, should start thinking about launch angles a little more. -The hard part about introducing players to launch angles and other sabermetric concepts is the ability to communicate it to them appropriately, in a way that gets them to think about and implement it without screwing them up. That's really, really hard, and that's the part where guys like Bannister can hopefully add a lot of value. The first part of Laurilla's column is about just that (including quotes from Bob Melvin).

Cecchini wasn't going to draw the same number of walks in the MLB without being more of a power threat most likely. It was a smart move to try and adjust his batted ball profile, it just failed.
He and Henry Owens were kind of one in the same. Great minor league players with holes in their game that were going to get exposed in the MLB. Hopefully Cecchini can get back to the level of at least a useful bench piece.

Source: Craig Breslow being added to Twins 40 man. Opt out was last night. Now on guaranteed deal of $1.25 mm with incentives. Great story
Good for Craig, one of the more likable Sox guys, easy to root for.

Nice to see Chris Marrero having a nice spring with SF. .277 .. 5 HR .. 10 RBI .. .972 OPS....With Sam Travis needing reps @ 1B, there was just no room for him. Hope he makes their 25-man.

I see Baltimore has placed Aneury Tavarez on outright waivers. If not claimed by another team he will head back to the Pawtucket.

I felt better after reading that. Moncada has some personal red flags. That doesn't mean he won't be good or even very good but I feel confident he won't reach the superstar level he's been pegged for because of certain personal traits. Then again he could by similar to Manny Ramirez a man child who only felt at ease when between the lines.

Good news on Tavarez gives us added depth in the outfield.
