The Lebowskis head southwest from Buffalo, New York to Los Angeles, California for some spring training baseball. There's a new look to the team; a loose, "what-the-hell" kind of confidence. Heading into the spring training games, the starting line-up is as follows (with last years stats):
1) Justin Hutton - LF (.252/.337/.528, 35 hr, 99 rbi, 44 sb)
2) Ernest Presley - CF (.264/.346/.419, 17, 75, 10)
3) Rob Sweeney - 3B (.284/.338/.435, 16, 86, 8)
4) Don Wilkins - DH (.318/.368/.644, 46, 135)
5) Alex Martin - RF (.276/.349/.463, 23, 92, 13)
6) Luther Marte - 1B (.306/.394/.459, 15, 84)
7) Ryan Miller - 2B (.257/.338/.353, 7, 57, 21)
8) Kevin Borders - C (.303/.347/.394, 4, 25)
9) Royce Weathers - SS (.197/.258/.213, 0, 4)
Mac Yamamato will likely split time with Presley occupying centerfield. Catcher Erubiel Martinez will also likely split with Kevin Borders, all with prospect Steven Mitchell breathing down their necks. The rotation is unset and up for grabs. Frank Rapp, Kevin Howard, and Sal Harris seem to be the favorites to occupy the top 3 spots, with the 4th and 5th spots being auditioned at spring training. What we do know Pat Yamamoto will be closing games.
Between games and practice, the players and coaches usually just drive around, bowl, and have the occasional acid flashback. All fans are welcome to Lebowskifest the day before the season begins, where the Buffalo Lebowskis head of security Walter Sobchak will host a fan vs. player bowling tournament. Till then, the Lebowskis abide.
