All is right in the world

The Pirates crushed the Manatees Lancers today 8-1 with a squad made up mostly of players that aren't going to make the team out of camp and Ryan Doumit. Included in the players taking part of the ritual slaughter were Neil Walker, his brother-in-law (?), and Yoslan Herrera. Herrera again dazzled with two perfect innings against helpless community college kids who have never seen a "Communist Cutter" or an "Embargo Eliminator" before. Then again, no one has actually seen any of Hererra's impressive array of pitches before (yeah, I was making names up earlier). I hope that when FSP televises their token two or three spring games this year the Bucs make sure he's on the field.
