-Cotton can be the ace when he’s on, as one source told me. He’s that electric
-Dustin Fowler coming into form. Squared up a ball to left, stole a bag
-Smolinski and Canha are making this battle very interesting. Both having good springs
- Lidge at the Hohokam...
Brad Lidge was at Hohokam Stadium this morning. Blake Treinen was pumped. Asked Lidge to show him how he threw his slider.
