A few things not really worthy of a separate post:
*Cesar Izturis would have received $100,000 by today (Tuesday) if he wasn't on the 25-Man roster. Since he wouldn't go to the minors, the Astros released him.
*Rule 5 pick Ravel Santana still isn't in camp because of visa issues in the Dominican Republic.
*From the previous link, it looks as though Correa and Appel will open the season in Lancaster, while Foltynewicz looks to be a lock for the OKC rotation.
*Here's a fun article from the Denver Post's Troy Renck on Rockies spring training co-MVP Brandon Barnes.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.

8:19am: With the first pick in the Triple-A phase of the Rule 5 draft, the Astros selected OF Ravel Santana from the Yankees. Santana will not have to be on the 25-Man roster - in minor-league phases, you just pay the draft fee and he's yours.
