I opened this thread expecting Cameron Diaz content and instead I got a no-name reliever. What a buzzkill.

I can post some Timmy Trumpet clips if it will make you feel better!

Do parks ever use canned walk-up music in Spring Training? It'd be kind of funny if he got the fanfare for some fourth-inning March outing on the road against the Nats in Palm Beach.

For a guy who was 'said to' be making a token appearance or two last September (before that plan got dumped)
I have to say that they didn't deem him ready to go even five months after that isn't what I'd call a great omen.

Maybe, but I tend to think that slow rollouts during spring of players you are providing special care for is more typical, and deploying such an animal all through spring is seen more as wasteful than as preparatory.

He's a closer, so sending him out for 20 pitches is sending him out for something like his full payload for a regular-season appearance. They probably don't think he needs much more than two or three such outings and he's ready to go (or not).
