Day 5 Morning Report/Valentine quotes
The Portland Sea Dogs and Pawtucket Red Sox travel to Tampa Bay’s minor league facility this afternoon, game time is 1:00 PM. Portland beat New Britain on Monday, 6-5, and finish their exhibition schedule on Saturday against the Rock Cats. Sunday is a Camp Day for the minor leagues, the last day of Spring Training.
Red Sox Manager Bobby Valentine spoke to the media around 10:30, with the main topic, today’s roster moves: First baseman Lars Anderson and shortstop Jose Iglesias optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket. The club reassigned right-handed pitchers Justin Germano and Doug Mathis and outfielder Josh Kroeger to minor league camp.
Great quote from Valentine on Iglesias ”I don’t stop believing in a player until I see him stop believing in himself. I saw that the other day, I thought.” Jose spoke to a few media members outside the Red Sox weight room, and I wished him the best of luck. I’m sure we’ll see him in Boston soon.
Bobby Valentine is eight days away from making his "official" managerial debut with the Red Sox.
Additional Bobby V quotes
On Tampa Bay not using any of their main starters against Boston – “Wise to hold starters back in the division.:
On Daniel Bard pitching twice against Blue Jays – “Different situation since he’s trying to make the team.”
Carl Crawford’s status – “He’s been taking swings in the cage, he’s feeling good. Probably stay in Ft .Myers to work with the medical team.”
_____________________________________________________________
I’m getting ready to watch Red Sox batting practice on the field, and hopefully will have an interview with Ryan Kalish.
It was very nice to catch up with former Sea Dog Trainer Brad Pearson. Brad is a very good friend of mine, and he’s one of two assistant trainers with Boston.

Day 4 from the Ft. Myers…Game Recap/Arnie Beyeler
Portland Sea Dogs Game Recap (Game Photos below)
Adalberto Ibarra delivered a run-scoring fielder’s choice, giving the Sea Dogs a 6-5, walk-off win over the New Britain Rock Cats on Monday afternoon. Heiker Meneses began the rally with a one-out triple down the right-field line, and was safe on a throw to the plate from the first baseman. Portland had 11 hits off ‘Cats’ pitchers, including a 3-run double from Oscar Tejeda in the first inning. Bryce Brentz and Reynaldo Rodriguez added run-scoring doubles. Ryan Pressly tossed four innings, yielding 4 hits on 3 runs. Ruben Flores worked two scoreless frames and Pete Ruiz gave up two runs over 2 IP. Michael Olmsted earned the win, working a perfect ninth. Olmsted was a former 9th round pick by the Mets in 2007. Boston acquired the righty last May from Chico of the Independent League.

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.
Carl Crawford talking to Red Sox report Maureen Mullen of CSNE.com
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.
