Our exhibition schedule ended today with an 6 to 2 loss to the Dallas Eagles. We ended up 14-16. Much better than our regular season results from last year, but still only better than San Francisco of the teams in our division.

The Philadelphia Phillies and Denver Bears both finished 22-8 to claim the best records. Baltimore, Kansas City and Milwaukee, the defending Champions of the PCL, all went 11-19 to tie for the worst Spring Training records.

Three players were put on waivers and designated for assignment: RP Curt Riley (35-R), who we never expected to make the roster, SP Tony Kelley (24-L), who has options, but we needed his spot on the 40 man roster, and OF Rob Watrous (33-R), who we signed to a 1 year contract at $350,000 to play center against lefties. Watrous was a huge disappointment this Spring, hitting .171 with no walks and 9 SO in 35 AB. We were planning to lead him off against lefties, but he did not score a run this Spring. Hopefully someone will claim him, as that is a lot of money to pay a AAA outfielder.

Next up: Meet the Beavers!
