Here's hoping he catches back on somewhere, he seems like a good guy and a capable pitcher. Let’s just say I was very surprised and disappointed to find him not present in camp last week.

I think Rasmus has a lot more value to the team playing center, his defense shines there. Ankiel has a great arm for right field . Rasmus must be uncomfortable in left and right because his couple of rotten plays that I recall this spring (including today) happened in left and right . Yeah you right Azruavatar,

The scout said that Todd "threw a two-seam splitty thing." I love it when they talk technical! Love that Scoutspeak!

Seems like I can only remember CF in the box scores where Ras has played every OF position and none on a semi-normal basis. Has Ankiel played any corner positions this spring?

He had a rough start, TLR pulled him aside and told him to relax, and then he was fine until today. I thought this was a bookend situation.

I know he's a good defensive outfielder, better than Rick, but he hasn't shown it so far. Also the point about the trade value is valid as well. I don't really have a problem with it. I suspect when Colby earns TLR's trust he'll be in CF and batting second. I don't think there is anything wrong with easing him into it.

There is so much pressure on Rasmus to do well that a few weeks w/Memphis might take some pressure off, work out some kinks. and then bring him up. I realize i'm in the minority here though. Does anyone know what the status is w/Robinson? Is he heading to Memphis soon? I’m probabl in the minority here but I’m not convinced he should start out the year w/the Cards.
