Full-squad workouts have begun, only one Phillie has yet to arrive in Clearwater, and a few important pitchers stood out. CSeidmanNBCS has the highlights from the start of the Phillies SpringTraining
"Wheeler and Alvarado were outstanding so they're right in line," manager Rob Thomson said."Seranthony is still ramping up. But I thought everything was good and organized. Try to have short, quick workouts. Get 'em on the field, get all the work done and get 'em in the training room so they can recover."
"It's a little bit nerve-racking because you want to make sure they come out of it healthy," Thomson said."If they do come out of it healthy, it's probably a good thing because they get some more intense games early. And the flipside of that is we get to see some of these kids play more." "A lot of times, I don't know what I'm supposed to do," he joked."Usually, I'm behind the computer right now working on tomorrow's schedule. I find myself just kind of walking around the clubhouse talking to people, which is good, but I'm kind of lost at times."
Is that sort of composure easier said than done for the players batting for opening day jobs? There aren't many roster battles for this Phillies team but the final spot in the rotation, final spot in the bullpen and last two spots on the bench are up for grabs.
