Playing catch up

-Doug Brocail's groin feels better and he made his first appearance of the spring today vs Panama.

-Chris Sampson threw 40 pitches off the mound today and reported feeling no pain...

“I felt good and am on schedule,” he said. “It’s another step. (Manager Cecil Cooper) said he’ll put me back in the general population with all the other guys, which is very exciting. Hopefully I’ll be game ready as soon as possible.”

-Lou Palmisano was sent home with flu-like symptoms...

“I kind of tentatively pushed him back to maybe Saturday to see if he’s OK, and if he is, he’ll start maybe Saturday’s game,”
