Weather was nice and clear with 5mph S wind.

Crowd was near 350.

Pearson and Thompson not tearing it up at the plate this fall or spring.

Not a great day from the freshmen



5-28 w/ 15K’s

Pearson is making decent contact ocassionally but they're not finding grass, yet.

Johnson during the week: “I’m not worried about Pearson, I know that when it matters he’s going to go out there and put together the type of ABs that I want”

Dugas hits homer on first day of live at-bats since October.

Pearson was the biggest head scratcher of the fall.

Don't like seeing him struggling out the gate in the spring too.

Pearson has a good approach and he sticks to it even when the results aren't there on paper. He'll be fine.

I agree he will be given every chance to get right.

after 5 scrimmages, does Milazzo have a hit yet? I don't think he has

Milazzo has had multiple scrimmages with walks and some with multiple walks. He had a sac and a rbi. Quit paying attention to hits and average with him. We all know that won’t be the best but if he puts together good enough at bats to be some type of productive and he stays strong behind the plate he will play a lot.

That said, Neal will also play a lot because he can hit.
