Todd Zolecki reports that J.A Happ pitched in a minor league spring training game against the Blue Jays in Dunedin.
“Happ allowed six hits, five runs, two walks and four strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings, but he pitched better than his line indicated. He struggled in the first inning, allowing three runs. But he retired 13 of 14 batters at one point. He allowed two more runs in the sixth, but those runs scored when the leftfielder couldn’t catch up to a flare in left field.”

i agree with both posts… happ needs just a slight bit more work… start him in the minors and give the ball to park cuz he has been outstanding this spring… your opening day starting rotation (with cole hamels despite injury):
1. Cole Hamels
2. Brett Myers
3. Joe Blanton
4. Jame Moyer
5. Chan Ho Park
Gotta say… thats pretty scary… only staffs i would take over that are the cubs (lily, dempster, harden, zambrano, and ?) and the yankees (c.c., burnett, pettite, joba, and wang)
