Not sure which is worse to a player - extreme cold or heat.<br /><br />We are certainly grading out nicely in RHP, LHP, C and 1B so far. Let's see how Amed, Dilson and possibly Conforto do at their respective positions.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-37572968995920943032015-01-23T12:14:39.942-05:002015-01-23T12:14:39.942-05:00And he did well in those months too!
