A few people have emailed this in, but I haven’t seen any confirmation. Apparently Abe Almonte had surgery to repair a torn labrum and is done for the season. For shame, if true.
Mike Ashmore posted the second part of his Q&A with Austin Romine, and it’s a must read. I can’t wait to see the kid show off his speed. Oh, and in case you missed it, Kevin Goldstein had a glowing report of Graham Stoneburner.

Robby Hammock, 3B: 0 for 1, 3 R, 4 BB – six walks & five hits on the year
