JJO's notes from yesterday:
-Capellan missed his flight to Florida and missed the first workout Saturday. Good start, buddy.
-“I didn’t realize Castro was as big as he was,” said Cooper, who met Castro last July in Washington, D.C., after the catcher was signed. “He’s a tall kid, has a good body.
-de la Vara and Tyler Lumsden have made a good early impression. “I know one thing: He’s got a pretty good arm,” Cooper said of Lumsden. “I saw the ball come out of his hand really good.” I don't even know what that means, other than the very, very obvious thing. That's two stellar quotes in the same article.
-Jeff Fulchino signed a one-year, $400,000 deal.
-Kaz Matsui gets the worm, becoming the first starter to report and workout. Aaron Boone, Jason Michaels, Brian Bogusevic, Chris Johnson, Tommy Manzella, Edwin Maysonet and Jason Smith are already in camp.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
-Hal Smith
