Wright seems to have rebounded all the way back from mono--reports weren't good from instructs, but he's been better in camp . . . As for Martin, 93--flash. He's working in the low 90s consistently, flashing 93 occasionally. The 2006 guys have been good–and Josh Rodriguezis supposed start the year in high Class A, so that’s even a positive for him.

(Huff, Hodges, Wright, Davis and Rodriguez) I know you like Nottingham as your sleeper over the winter. Now that you have been in camp who else do you see as a breakout guy this year?

I know you like Nottingham as your sleeper over the winter. Now that you have been in camp who else do you see as a breakout guy this year?

Cabrera's makeup has been questioned by scouts over the last two years--in terms of harnessing his aggression and pitching without fear. He hasn't done that much this spring . . . There were further questions this past winter when he continually showed up late to games, didn't really get after early work like he'd done in the past--in some ways, he really needs to get back to square one. Nothing will be handed to him anymore. The stuff is still there; he just needs to be more aggressive and show something.

Do the Tribe have any hopes that he will return to the form that had them thinking he could be a dominant factor in their bullpen and their eventual closer? What do club officials identify as the things he needs to work on? I know he’s still up on the big club, but how has Fernando Cabrera looked in camp?

I'm hearing really good things about JD Martin, which is great. And it's nice to hear that Carlton Smith's back (after having vanished mid-season last year; did you ever find out what happened?). Of course, I've been an Adam Miller fan from day one. He just has a great presence on the mound. I hope you get to see my new favorite Tribe youngster, Carlos Rivero, the 18-year-old Venezuelan shortstop. I'd like to hear your opinion. How I wish I were in Winter Haven!
