Adam on fire
We're only in thie fifth inning and Adam Jones is a triple away from hitting for the cycle. He singled in the first inning and doubled in the fourth before slamming a two-run homer (his first of the exhibition season) to left in the sixth to draw the Orioles within four runs in a game they trailed, 10-0, little more than an inning ago.
Jones is now batting .386.
Stat update: Reliever George Sherrill allowed three hits and a walk in a third of an inning in his sixth exhibition appearance of the Grapefruit League season. He has now pitched a total of 5 1/3 innings and allowed 17 baserunners.

Thats a WHIP of what 28.9? So Schmuck you still think he should be the closer or are you coming around to the Ray as closer line I have been promoting all spring (and to be honest last fall as well)?

Pete's reply: I may come around soon, but Sherrill does have a history of bad springs. I think he'll get the first couple of save opportunities.

Jones is a guy I think a lot fans overlook but I think he has a tremndous amount of potential to develop into a 30hr guy. He may never hit .300 but .280 with lots of HR's 2B's and 3B's out of the 5 spot would he huge.

Pete's reply: Nobody's overlooking Adam. He's going to be something special.
