Day 2 recap
Greg Miller did show up in the afternoon, making for perfect attendance on mandatory reporting day for pitchers and catchers. General manager Ned Colletti, manager Grady Little and the front-office and coaching staffs met for several hours in the afternoon. All in all, it was an uneventful day, the calm before the six-week storm of daily workouts begin today. There was one rather sad scene. Perched against a table in the middle of the clubhouse were two boxes full of freshly delivered bats for infielder Oscar Robles, who was released last week, apparently after his bats already had been ordered. Robles, one of the most personable, likeable guys on the club the past two seasons, was never really in the Colletti-Little regime's plans because he can only play three positions, while fellow utilityman Ramon Martinez can play several. Robles, a light-hitting middle infielder who nevertheless was known for consistently seeing lots of pitches and having prolonged, professional at-bats, will be missed, especially by the media.
