At 8:05 De La Rosa will take the mound to face the Dodgers in Surprise. This game will go along way in determining De La Rosa's future with the Royals. So far this spring De La Rosa is sporting an ugly 7.56 ERA allowing 7 runs in 8.1 innings and a batting average against of .450, any way you spin it this has been a bad spring for him.
Another player to watch closely is Esteban German, the line-up isn't available yet but I'm willing to bet he is starting and playing in the infield. Last week the trade rumors were flying about the possible trade of German to the Dodgers, but the last few days have been silent, let's see if he can have a good game and get this trade rumor rolling again.
Well German didn't get the start but he did come in late and had a hit in one at bat, a run and a walk, not bad I suppose. Last nights game also had some other interesting points of note; Butler had a triple, Teahen hit his third homer of the spring and Gathright jumped over a 6'1" pitcher. De La Rosa had another bad start allowing 7 hits and 4 runs in 4 innings of work.
