Schwarber seems to be warming up of late.  He just hit a 425 for bomb to center.

Zobrist is hitting .143, Schwarber is hitting .125, Bryant is hitting .211.  Who cares.

Well, now Bryant and Schwarber are producing with extra-base hits. Heyward, however, was 0-3 today and is now 2-26 overall.

Jorge Soler is 2-26 this Spring.

Bad trade for them, I guess.

Well, unless we wait to see how the regular season plays out.

Soler at least hit a bit last year, 35 points higher than Heyward in adjusted OPS. At some point we need to see Heyward hit.

I wonder how much his rough spring eats at Heyward's own self-confidence? 

I'm still not sold on Happ, but he's certainly having a good spring.

Wow, that guy is hotter than hot.  Got a hit his other AB, too, 2-2 thus far.  Crazy. 

He played 65 games in AA last summer.  Wonder if he'll start at AA again, and move to Iowa mid-season?  Or if they'll just stick him right at Iowa right from the start?  Certainly doesn't look unqualified this camp, that's for sure.
