2009 D-backs Spring Training Thread

[NHEIB84]

Whats everyones feeling on CY. I'm hoping for a big year out of him. Is batting .280 out of reach? Are we going to see him running a little more this year?

Some interesting comments by RJ after the game

He started by saying he wanted to reconnect with Miguel Montero after they faced each other in the second inning, except Montero was busy picking up the splinters of his broken bat.
"I really like him," Johnson said. "No, I do. That's why he caught me. He's good catcher. He's eager to learn. He listened to me. I don't know everything, and I don't claim to, but he wanted to learn. And that's why he caught me."

When asked how it felt to perform so well in front of his former bosses, Johnson mockingly asked if Jerry Colangelo was in attendance. And then he did something unexpected. He made it clear that his sentimental home is in Seattle, just in case the Hall of Fame was curious as to what hat he'd like to wear for eternity.
"I'd say the biggest thrill I got was going back to Seattle," Johnson said. "The time I spent there, what it meant to me and my career . . . I had more wins there than any place else, more time there then any place else. It was kind of my steppingstone. All the other teams I played for kind of reaped the benefits . . . "

He won the World Series and the most Cy Youngs as a D'back, he's going in as a D'back. He's probably just made right now because they didn't bring him back, Im sure it'll calm down with time. After all he lives in Paradise Valley, so its he must have some connection to the area.

Yankees didn't reap any benefits. Just saying.
