It looks like Hall won't be the only player in the training room to start camp. Most notably Gwynn and Bourgeois seem to have some early issues that could impact their chances of making the team if they don't heal up quickly.

EDIT: A quick rundown:

Hall's injury is as previously thought, partially torn calf, 4-6 weeks.
Gwynn has a shoulder impingement and will not be allowed to throw.
Jason Bourgeois has a broken left pinkie finger.
Alex Periard has tightness in his shoulder.
Chris Capuano and Mark Rogers still cannot throw as they recover from their respective arm troubles.

Turnbow Expectations

Ph_276913_medium
After coming across Turnbow's name in the SI article on Attanasio, I got to thinking what my expectations are for him in the future.

73 votes
Talented pitcher that has previously harnessed his "fire" and is only a matter of time from doing so again (i.e. only a matter of time before he figures it out and is back on the big stage)

Hopefully the organization banned him from going to see the new Harold and Kumar movie.

Caught some Brewers BP before Tuesday night's game. I swear it looked like Sheets was hitting up Simmons on hitting advice the entire 45 minutes they were out there.

Parra's Workload

After another stellar outing by Parra yesterday I got curious about his past workload. Here are his yearly IP according to The Baseball Cube:
2002 - 49.2
2003 - 138.2
2004 - 73.1
2005 - 91.0
2006 - 86.0
2007 - 133.0

Assuming he is past his arm problems, it is conceivable that even if he makes the team out of spring training we are not going to have a full year of him. If you use this law of 30 that everybody was referencing with Gallardo, we probably shouldn't expect more than 160-165 innings. That being the case, what is the best way to distribute those innings or do we consider him a special circumstance that isn't bound by that 30 inning rule because he is older than Gallardo?

Poll
If limited by his IP totals, how would you prefer Parra's innings be controlled?
throw IP out the window and ride him all year long

aaa to start the season to keep his IP down before a mid-season call up
23 votes
ride him from the start of the season right up till he hits his limit
8 votes
start him off in the bigs, shut him down mid-season with an allotment of innings remaining so he could be used down the stretch
