Belated Stuff from Halladay's start vs Braves
Written by Mike Mariano

On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of seeing Roy Halladay throw against the Braves in Spring Training at their Wide World of Sports complex (I think that's what it is called at least) along with the rest of my college baseball team (yes, I'm on a spring training trip of my own, which explains my lack of posting this week).  Doc threw well and sans a few hits it would have been a flawless outing for the new ace.  He threw against Kenshin Kawakami and it was blatantly obvious that he's on a different level (not that you needed me to tell you that).  I guess the point I'm trying to convey is that watching Doc Halladay pitch was exciting because you could see his command and control and dominance with each pitch.  Needless to say I'm very excited to see him throw in mid-season form.  3 innings, 3 hits, 5 strikeouts for the big righty.

Other thinking points from the game:

-- Jason Heyward ... is a monster.  I am thoroughly afraid of him being in the NL East in the next decade.  This may be unbelievable but he's larger than Ryan Howard.  Easily.  Not only that he flies around the bases and has an absolute cannon from the outfield.  Not to mention that he's only 20 years old and already walks with a presence wherever he is in the stadium.  Should be a phenomenal pro and is rightfully so the best prospect in baseball.

-- Sadly, I didn't get to see Domonic Brown hit.  We had to leave early as a group and it remains my biggest regret of the night.

-- Chase Utley was MIA on the field and despite the fact that I knew he wasn't playing I found myself searching for him all game.

-- Jayson Werth has ascended to superstar level as a Phillie.  He got an ovation similar to that of Rollins and Howard.  It's good to see the Wolfman getting his due for the tremendous season he put together in 2009.

Hilarious moment, someone smashed a double into the left field gap and Jay Werth literally didn't move an inch.  From the pitch to contact to the end of the play his legs didn't so much as twitch.  It shouldn't be noteworthy at all but it's something you wouldn't see during a telecast.

-- The Phils have a catcher on the Spring Training roster named Tuffy Gosewisch.  Amazing.  I hope he makes the squad.

-- Danys Baez is just awkward enough [delivery wise] that I think he'll be a successful piece of the Phillies bullpen.  Relievers are more effective the weirder they are, I'm sure of it.

Good stuff Mike...one day I gotta go down to Florida for spring training. Easy with the Jayson Werth superstar nonsense.

I think Heyward has a chance to become the Lebron of baseball. A physical freak capable of dominating. I'm excited to watch him in the majors this year.

the great thing about Baseball is that you don't have to be a monster to be a superstar. The bigger the person is, the bigger the strike zone he has and the more plate he has to cover. I look forward to seeing him in action and if he lives up to the hype.
