... the bat through the strike zone. Everything was so slow. It felt like I was swinging under water." Making his game debut 11 days after signing a Minor League contract with the Dodgers and joining their camp in a non-roster capacity, Anderson drew passing marks from Don Mattingly, normally the team's hitting coach when not interim managing. "He was OK," Mattingly said. "That first day from him is history. He'll make adjustments off what he did today."

Griffin: Different treatment for Cito Gaston, Bobby Cox - 1 day ago - thestar.com

... neither one of us wants any fuss about it."Whether they want fuss or not, the perception at large, especially with the Jays' younger fan base, has been "good for Bobby" and "bad for Cito." Maybe it was the 11 years off for Gaston from 1997 to '08 as compared to the continued excellence of Cox's teams, but the fact is that whether or not he is the right man at the helm of the 2010 Jays, Gaston deserves more respect than he's got.

He could have been Rookie of the Year last season if he didn't get injured. Romero said he is a different pitcher than the one that made his debut last spring.
