Checking in from Tucson....

I don't have time to write much. Anyway, I hung out at the minor league complex most of the day before attending today's game at Hi Corbett.

Some notes:

-I saw Fowler, Mayora, Chris Nelson, Garner, Cuadrado and a few others take batting practice and all looked very impressive. Fowler also made a few nice catches in the outfield and I was impressed by his defense and extensive range.

-I saw Adam Bright, Simon Ferrer, Matt Daley, Yull Silano, Josh Sullivan, Brandon Hynick, Ching-Lung Lo, Yull Silano and a few others throw bullpen sessions. Sullivan and Hynick looked especially impressive.

-Deduno, Strop and Aneury Rodriguez are still stuck in the Dominican Republic dealing with visa issues and have yet to report to camp.

-Also, over the last few weeks the Rockies have signed the following players:
RHP Tim Bausher
RHP Tim LaVigne
C Luis Apodaca (re-signed)
SS Tim Olson
IF Nick Haley
OF Lino Garcia
OF John Restrepo(re-signed)

LaVigne looks intriguing and may have a spot in the Sky Sox bullpen.

Garner's Left swing.

Did you have an opportunity to see Cole Garner batting from the left side of the plate ? I understand that He has good power from that side as well.

Garner began switch-hitting?

Wow, I didn't know that.

When I saw Cole yesterday he was hitting from the right-side, so I can't really give you any information about his lefthanded swing.

R you in?

He was gonig to

do it last season, but it put a strain on his right shoulder.
