Some impressive looks in Spring

The one guy that I have been impressed with thus far this spring is Ryan Roberts. The 29-year old journeyman second baseman has put up some pretty good numbers. Hitting .344 with 3 stolen bases, and leads the team with 32 ABs. I got to see him for the first time yesterday in game action, and while the tatted up Roberts is not likely destined for the 40-man roster, a good spring will give the D-backs some options with him.

Conor Jackson continues to rake....and made more than a few excellent catches in the outfield. A couple against the wall....a shoestring catch on a ball in shallow left. It's going to be very difficult for Mr. Eric Byrnes to make a case for playing time in left. He will need to hope that Conor ends up playing a lot more first than Jackson would like.
