"Going 1-for-3 with a walk isn't going to get you in there the next day, while going 2-for-3 or 3-for-4 is going to get you in there the next day.

Tampa Bay and New York benches cleared during the second inning of a Grapefruit affair on Wednesday, leading to the ejections of two players and two coaches. Just four days after Yankees manager Joe Girardi complained about Tampa Bay's over-the-top home-plate collision that injured catcher Francisco Cervelli, the powers-to-be warned both teams before the game asking for both clubs best behavior. As is the case in most big league contests, warnings from umpires mean little. The benches cleared after New York's Shelley Duncan slid into Rays second baseman Akinori Iwamura with spikes raised. Duncan was thrown out by at least 10 feet and was immediately ejected. Tampa Bay's Jonny Gomes was ejected, too, after racing in from right field and barreling into Duncan as other players poured onto the field. Ah... we love the smell of baseball fights in the morning here at Fanball/Rototimes.
March 3, 2008
Jonny Gomes went 2-3 on Monday with a home run and two runs scored. It was Gomes first home run of the spring but an important one. The right fielder is battling with veteran Cliff Floyd for the rights to the starting role. Unless Gomes has a landslide showing during camp, it's likely he and Floyd will platoon in right, with Floyd receiving more at-bats on the season. The ex-Met will face right-handers while Gomes would get the start against opposing lefty's.
