On Fields, well, he's got a lot of work to do. He was shut down for a while in 2009, and his walk rate was extremely high. We'll see what Navarro can do with him in Tacoma. It's entirely possible he could be ready by the end of the year, but it's also possible that he'll need a full year of work in the minors (considering he didn't get a full year of work in last year). Jeff Sullivan approves, Evan.

But I'm going to rhyme it with Beignet, just because I can. Levale pronounces it Spiner.

Is he going to be major league ready by the end of the season or is he going to have a nice stay on AAA? Assuming Z doesn't completely clear the team of Bavasi draft picks, he could be a good option for closer when Aardsma becomes too expensive. What’s the deal on Fields?

This is the game where they should let Ichiro pitch an inning. Is there a better name for a relief pitcher than "Erasmo"? And am I the only person who keeps trying out different pronunciations of "Levale Speigne" and all of them sound wrong? Saunders is in center and Byrnes is in left?
