Weissert and Campbell have looked outstanding this spring. Really surprised that the Mariners were willing to move him for Urias, who, if I recall correctly, was a non-tender candidate.

I doubt it. He's had a rough spring but with Refsnyder out there's room for Ceddane and Wilyer, isn't there? Wilyer has also suffered from a miserable BABIP this spring. His numbers would look a lot better if he was batting .300 on balls in play rather than .200.
Abreu comes up small after a passed ball put runners on 2nd and third. Awful AB. Cedanne played his way on to the team, per Cora and the main board. Is Abreu playing his way off?
But Wilyer might be platooning or backing up, for the most part. I guess we'll see.
Anyways, we can all agree that Campbell's slider is making fools of the Pirates.
Yeah, Campbell looked very good. I also agree Wilyer is likely to be on the OD roster, all things considered. Hopefully he finds a groove.
Me too. His discipline doesn't seem to slump, regardless. That's an advantage of his approach and I think it's one the FO doubtless appreciates. 9 walks in like 65 PA is nothing to sneeze at.
He's had a pretty horrible spring. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he started in AAA for a bit

EDIT--although valid point about his plate discipline by @Fishy1
I suppose I wouldn't either, but I think they need him as a backup outfielder right now. If Yoshida is primarily at DH, it's some combination of O'Neill-Duran-Rafaela, right?
^^^ Chase Anderson clearly who I was referring to in this post.

That was same fancy timing. Showing the Mic'd up video of Rafaela and as it concludes with his steal from earlier in the game, he's stealing another bag in real time. Almost perfectly in sync.
Got home in time for the last couple of outs. My biggest take away from the few minutes that I saw was that Mike Monaco's still in the mix.
Casas with a lunging catch of a line drive and a touch of 1st bag with the glove while on all fours for a wicked pissah double play
Kutter starts the last Florida contest of the spring, line-up is Duran RF, O'Neil DH, Devers 3b, Story SS, Casas 1b, Rafaela CF, Yoshida LF, Reyes 2b, Wong C
Nice first for Cutter, base hit followed by a great play on a line drive to Casas for the UDP. K's Riley to end the inning.

As Monaco and Middlebrooks discuss Dalbec's good ST and previous STs, Mrs YTF chimes in with "It's his summers that are killing us" She's in mid season form.
Duran ground out, BB for O'Neil, Devers solid single off lefty Fried, first and second. Story grinding AB, soft single to to right loads the bases. Casas up.
Rafaela showing patience, at least, works count to 2-2 before popping to short. Just missed it. Squander.
Casas ate his wheaties this morning. Another diving snag (of a hard grounder down the line) for 3rd out.
Not pretty from Kutter, but Casas is looking absolutely fantastic at first this year. A couple of great plays today highlighting his improvement.
Kutter works out of trouble nicely in the third, offense still looking to break through after the early squander, O'Neil at second and Raffi at first for Story. Walks. Bases juiced again for Casas.
Heh, Casas with a little grounder that gets through for a 2-run single.
Looks like a line drive in the scorebook!
