Nah, just don't issue him a glove. In other news: RHP Jake Buchanan, RHP Bobby Doran, OF Leo Heras, IF Jonathan Meyer, C Ryan McGurdy, RHP Jason Stoffel, IF Ronald Torreyes, RHP Nick Tropeano and OF Preston Tucker were reassigned to minor league camp. RHP Paul Clemens was optioned to minor league camp.
I guess that might be pretty much it for Clemens as an Astro. Surprised he didn't last longer into Spring Training, but he did get rocked in his only 2 appearances.
I was in Florida last week and was shocked how little and stocky he is (I've never actually seen him). But the baseball people said he's always been little and stocky and weren't concerned. Still very fast.
Didn't know that; always assumed he was tall and lanky. He's a little sparkplug. Looks a lot like Darren Sproles, actually. The guy I was talking to said he was still blazing fast. They kind of like DDJr, btw. Higher on him than I would have guessed.
Raines struck me as taller and not as thick - but it's been, like, 30 years since I saw Raines play. In my head, he always looked like his dad, of course. That's the big disconnect for me.
