The Spirit added two lefties yesterday- Craig Snipp and Melvin Alvarez.
Snipp is coming off four years pitching at Kentucky. The SEC is a good conference so you don't have to take his numbers with as much of a grain of salt as you do with many guys coming out of college. With that said, his numbers weren't that great:
'06
***
16 G
15 GS
106.0 IP
7-5, 3.48 ERA
125 H
83 SO/25 W
'05
***
21 G
1 GS
49.1 IP
4-5, 5.29 ERA
52 H
38 SO/17 W
'04
***
18 G
12 GS
54.1 IP
2-8, 7.62 ERA
56 SO/20 W
The best thing I can say is that he really improved this year, and has had good K/BB ratios.
Alvarez, 24, had limited action in the Gulf Coast league in 01 and 02 but hasn't pitched since.

Trezza could be gone.
er
Could be NOT gone*
er...
Could come back
There we go
wow joe,choose your words. :-p
B.E. raises a good point...we need to stop getting pitchers and find some decent hitters. With those guys gone our offense is questionable....even with some of the bullpen gone,it's still pretty strong.
Right now we need to focus on getting a good catcher though,which I'm sure is going on. I don't know about you guys,but I think that getting Olivier Lepine isn't a bad idea.
Question:
In baseball, what two things win championships?.
Answer:
1). PITCHING
2). DEFENSE
You can NEVER have enough pitching.
Daveco is correct.
A catcher is the backbone to being "strong up the middle". A veteran spot is commonly used at this position.
Maybe LePine,or perhaps Hargreaves would condider coming out of retirement.
Heargraves? We went down that route before. Maybe we can talk Franky C. out of retirement :D
And yeah.. the difference between '05 and '06 proved that you can never have too much pitching- especially when your best pitchers can disappear overnight
Imagine the Pitching staff if we keep all the lefties!.
Everyone knows that players at this level have increased difficulty hitting for both power and average against southpaws.
Did anyone else notice the omission of the 1510 logo and lnk from the Spirit website?
I didn't see any mention of the Spirit on the Zone(d) out site either.
WHASSUP w/Dat?.
I suppose I should obstain from this one huh?.
Go to the News section and look on the right. The zone is still there.
