CF Larry Ford (33-R) inked a minor league contract with us this morning and made his debut in center this afternoon and promptly rapped out a hit and pulled a hamstring... He is expected to miss a month.

Of the candidates for the center field job, Perry Templet (22-L) is by far the best fielder, the only one with elite range, and is projected to be a good hitter eventually, but can we really expect him to make the jump from A ball to the majors in one go? John Scott (25-L) is the second best fielder, but is not much of a hitter at all. He was scheduled to be our starter this season in Vancouver (AAA). Jeff Schottler (24-R) and Ford have decent range, but will they hit? Anyone else we put out there had better hit well, because no one else really has the range to play good defense.
