I counted 12 scouts in the stands.
Fairly boring game but here's some observations.
Nottingham did a very good Cliff Lee imitation throwing only high-80's fastballs with predictable results. He seemed to be throwing harder than that but a scout told me he "topped out at 89".
Barton seems like an ungodly athlete. Very lanky with a good arm. He swung at the first pitch twice though and I did not get to see him run.
Goleski just LOOKS like a rf; big guy with a strong arm. With the disappointing years by RG, BB and "Trammel" Crowe, how tenuous is Lee May Jr's position in the organization?
"Trammel" had a few good ab's and made a Grady like catch - diving away from the plate in the RCF gap.
JBrown and Aubrey did not play.
AstroCab has a pretty swing but didn't do too much. It is weird seeing another Tribe ss wearing 13...
The guy who impressed me was Gimenez even though I left before he went yard. He had been described to me by a scout as another Garko: good bat & no position. He seems a lot more athletic than Garko making a few nice plays at 3b and moving pretty well. I think Casey Blake is a better comp.
It is a good squad but seem lethargic especially compared to the 03-04 squads but that could be the result of being down 8-0 after 1 at bat...
