We Got News

Training camp tends to be one of those time periods for which "no news is good news" holds true. Well...we got news.

Media reports indicate that second-year center Torrey Mitchell--who provided a nice, unexpected spark as a rookie last year, although he faded somewhat down the stretch and flashed his rookie side a little too often for my comfort--has broken his leg and will be out for eight weeks.

Coach McClellan, meet your first major-league curve ball.

With Mitchell down, someone will have to step in. Who will that someone be? Very very early indications (via David Pollak's blog at the Merc) indicate that Once-And-Future(?) Shark Jeff Friesen could have the early inside track.

Certainly a situation to watch as camp continues.
