Just In From the Desert

2010 First round pick Drew Pomeranz certainly showed up for his pro debut.  The 6'5" left-hander threw a hitless 4th inning, surrendering a walk and fanning a pair.

Starter Justin Masterson did not fare so well, allowing 2 ER, 2 H, & 3 BB over his 2 innings.  He also hit a guy.  Afterward, Masterson said that he was satisfied with his performance.  I am not.

OF Travis Buck, off to a great start in his push for utility outfielder spot, added another hit and another RBI.  After a 1-for-3 day, Buck is hitting a robust .625.

Confirmed pitchers for 03.03: Mitch Talbot & Josh Tomlin.  That's all they'll tell me.  They're also very quiet on Masterson's pitch-to-strike ratio.  By them I refer to Yahoo!, MLB, PD, IPI, the Indians and every other source you can name.  I was also waiting for supposed Indians blogger Jordan Bastion to post for the day.  Apparently that was too much to ask.  Kid's got a real tough job.

Bollocks.
