Mets manager Terry Collins is not enthralled that the "neighborhood play" at second base is now reviewable to see if a fielder actually touched the bag. "We're making a slide rule that keeps you on the bag," Collins said. "You've got to be near the bag. And now we're making a decision on the neighborhood play that you've got to stay on the bag. You know what that's going to mean? Someone is going to get their clocks cleaned."
UPDATE: Anibal Sanchez is suffering from inflammation of his lower triceps muscle, near the elbow. He last threw on Monday and won't again until next Monday. Noticed it once he started throwing hard; subsequently had an MRI, which revealed inflammation
Giants RHP Matt Cain had a procedure to remove a cyst from his upper right arm, Giants GM Bobby Evans announced today. Cain is expected to resume throwing in approximately 10 days. Cain also had eye surgery during the offseason.

I'm told that before MLB changed the rules to limit coaches' mound visits to 30 seconds, it also discussed whether to limit catchers' mound visits as well. But it decided that wouldn't save enough time to warrant the potential impact on late-game strategy.
Pulled into the parking lot at Rays camp today. And it was 46 degrees as the sun rose over the outfield fence. Spring training is surreal sometimes!

One positive takeaway from spring training from Tigers manager Brad Ausmus' point of view? Matt Boyd's revamped slider. He feels that could turn into a very effective pitch for he young lefty. Boyd has worked on forming it up from last season, can't wait to see it in action next week: " I'm excited to toe it up against someone in a different uniform."
