Sabean talked to The Sports Virus about expectations for LF Jarrett Parker: “…He needs consistency…Really just putting the ball in play with authority. Home runs are fine and extra base hits are fine but what makes the world go-round is what you can do with two strikes and what you do in RBI situations. He’s still learning with that.”

Osich discussed his changeup with The Sports Virus: “….It’s one of those pitches that it’s all feel. It has to come off your hand right. If it’s not, then it’s not going to be what you want it to be. Last year I was just fighting it so much that it almost came down to that I almost gave up on it because I was wasting too much time trying to fix that and not working on anything else and it was just hurting how I was throwing. It didn’t turn out like I wanted it to. I feel like this year is going to be different.”
