Day 5 in Ft. Myers…Afternoon Report
Final Score just in…Sea Dogs 6-2 over Montgomery (Rays affiliate) in Double-A exhibition action.
Boston Globe legend Dan Shaugnessy
Today was one of those days I’ll be talking about for a while. After batting practice I was able to chat with Adrian Gonzalez and Bobby Valentine. Gonzalez recalled his days in Portland and Valentine actually remembered me from interviewing him at the Hot Stove Dinner. You never know, he’s met so many people.
Bobby Valentine addressing the media. That's not Josh Beckett in the background.
There was plenty of drama before batting practice, as SS Jose Iglesias was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket, making Mike Avilies the likely Opening Day starter. I talked to a few scouts today that said Iglesias is not ready to hit in the Major Leagues, and there’s no reason to hurt his development. With that being said, maybe we’ll the former Sea Dog down the road.
The great thing about working in professional baseball is the people you meet. First-Base coach Alex Ochoa spent the first couple of months in Portland during Iglesias’ professional debut. Both Red Sox Assistant Trainers (Masai Takahashi & Brad Pearson) worked in Portland.
I stayed back at the Red Sox Minor League complex to take some photos, and interview some former Sea Dogs. There is so much randomness that happens in life, and today certainly was random. I had lunch in the media room with Boston Globe legend Dan Shaugnessy and was on the air with Bob Lobel two hours later – very cool.
During the middle innings, I spent some time in the Red Sox control room, watching how they work. Thanks to Abbey Thelin of Red Sox TV Productions, for making it happen.
State of the art control room at JetBlue Park at Fenway South.
Tomorrow will be my last day in Fort Myers, and I’m hoping to watch some of the Sea Dogs and PawSox at JetBlue Park. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this being here. It never gets old. My job is amazing, and I’m so lucky to work for the Sea Dogs. First class in so many ways.
Have a great night!

Report from the Fort – Day 3 (Bates, Bowden and Gedman Interview)
The first three days of Spring Training has been so much fun, and I’m still in awe of the JetBlue Park facility. During the past few days, I’ve covered the Sea Dogs, PawSox and Red Sox, with Pawtucket broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith. Yesterday I interviewed former Sea Dog Aaron Bates after Pawtucket’s 6-2 loss to Rochester. Tomorrow, the Twins minor leaguers play at the Red Sox complex, and I’m hoping to interview former Sea Dog Ray Chang.
Brandon Duckworth getting some work in during Sunday's workout
When I woke up this morning and heard rain, I was worried that Camp Day would be cancelled. So what is Camp Day? It’s where teams play intra-squad games, and hitters get to face their own pitchers. Since it rained in the morning, a few pitchers threw to a hitter with no one on the field. There was a catcher, umpire and a few players chasing down fly balls. It was nice to have a great view behind home plate.
Interview with former Red Sox Catcher Rich Gedman. Great insight on the 1986 team
With the Red Sox playing on the road today, a few starters stayed behind and took batting practice. Former Sea Dogs Manager Arnie Beyeler threw BP (baseball slang word for batting practice), and chatted with me after their workout. On Monday, I’m going to watch Arnie work with some of the Red Sox players during their pre-game routine in the morning. Looking forward to getting some great photos. I can’t say enough about how great the Sea Dogs’ coaches have been since my time in Portland.

During my morning travels, I had a long conversation with former Sea Dogs’ trainer Masai Takahashi. Masai is one of two assistant trainers (Brad Pearson) that worked in Portland. Jon Jochim, the PawSox trainer, was driving around in a golf cart, but he was very busy. I also had a quick minute to check-in with Dustin Pedroia. He said it was as honor that I read his book. Actually I made that part up.
