Scenes From Arizona
With an off day on Sunday, here’s a little something extra from our intrepid photographer, Lee Magenheim. Naturally, the focus of the updates is on the game action, but the players will talk about the extra coaching they receive. Here’s a glimpse at some of what Lee saw last week in the mornings.
Adrian Nieto, working with Cubs coach (and former catcher) Brian Harper.
Steve Souza Jr., working out at 1B.
Matt Skole getting ready to hit.
Lord, please deliver me from the those convenience-store breakfast burritos I ate this morning…
Great shots. Especially the Souza shot.
I agree, it’s always good to have southwest correspondent.
Love these pictures. I had not realized that Souza had played 1b until I saw the picture of him working there. Digging a bit, I saw that he played a lot of 1b in Potomac in 2011. Was he any good there? Where do you think he ultimately lands in terms of position?
Not bad, actually — by the end of the ’11 season, the hiccups were about the same as any other 1B. I think his future is as an OF because that’s where the need will be in the near term.
I could not help playing Doug Harris
Sliding Telemito Augustin in the DSL
Talent pool for bats and Outfielders
Neat neat core
Nutritious burritos would be my food choice
If playing in AFL!!!! Lol!
Great job Luke
If the Nats sign Luke Scott for goon squad
Will you be Luke force bias ??? Kkkkkkk
If you’re referring to this Luke Scott, then you’re going to need to capitalize those K’s, three at a time.
Just wanted to add that I got to Surprise just as the last players were exiting the team bus and the 1st sound I heard was the crack of a bat. When I went to the batting cages Brian Goodwin was already getting a hitting lesson from Troy Gingrich who was teeing up ball after ball, low and outside, so Brian could train himself to go down to get it and hit it right back up the middle. This went on for 15 minutes. Brian is always working on something to improve.
