I've been to 4 Tribe games this Spring to date. I'll be attending 6 more before they head north.
These players have stood out in the games I've watched. Listed in no particular order.
Andy Marte: Looks like he's major league ready. Boone is hitting a ton but his defense has been atrocious. In Lakeland the other day, Boone muffed a grounder that would have been an inning ending double play. It went as a fielder's choice but the Tigers went on to score 2 runs in the inning.
Brad Snyder: Looks like an athlete - tall, big frame. Has very good speed and bat quickness. Yesterday in Dunedin they started him against Ted Lilly who throws left handed and Snyder hit him hard twice. Also made a very nice diving catch in RF yesterday.
Brandon Phillips: Too valuable to let go. Has hit the ball hard in every game I've watched and makes all the plays in the field.
Ryan Mulhern: Has the body of Thome. Has shown very good power.
Andrew Brown: Brings the heat. He leans back in his windup like the old-timers used to do.
Ryan Garko: Hitting very well. Playing the field better than average. I've seen him scoop 4-5 low throws from the infield. I thought he was taller but he only appears to be about 6-1. Looks like he needs to be kept away from Wickman because he may challenge Wick for coney dog eating prowess.
Trevor Crowe: Only saw him play once but he has the best speed from homeplate to first base other than Sizemore.
B.J. Ryan: I know he doesn't play for the Tribe but he came into the game throwing much faster than anyone I've seen. He struckout 2 in 1 inning.
