Carrie Muskat files two reports a day from camp. The "Notes" and a feature [sic] piece. Today she gives us Aramis' cockfighting story, or lack thereof. The will-you-stay-healthy do-you-speak-Japanese you-sucked-in-October 100-year-curse crap was a nice topping.
On to the Notes
More pablum from Howry about closing. More Fukudome and English - is it still news that he's Japanese? And the media from Japan is here? No shit. How's his swing look? Seen him run fast yet? How does Colvin look?
How about something about the players and how they look - like Pie and Fuld. We know there's a battle, give us some juice on that, don't just tell us there's a battle.
The gem is from our new friend Alex
"I didn't come here to take anybody's position," Cintron said. "I'm clear on that. I'm just here to do my job. They ask me to pinch-hit, play infield, outfield, whatever. That's what I'm here for."
Yes, not just anybody's position, but Ronny's.
They did toss us this bone - a new photo of Fukudome

Don't you love the lack of quality information that comes from these people who are covering their team in spring training?
It really is unfortunate, to put it mildly.
It is. Now is the perfect time to let us know a brief scouting report on really each of the players in camp (there is enough for that) along with what they may have worked on this offseason, etc. Instead, all we get is fluff pieces on Fukudome and a lot of article about Ramirez and cockfighting. How interesting?!
