[dbmill]

Dom Amore is down in Tampa to cover the UConn men's basketball game tonight, but not surprisingly he took a little time to visit with a couple of Connecticut natives, including Anthony Marzi, at the Yankees training complex:

SPRINGER HAS TRIPLED AND HIT A GRAND SLAM IN THE SAME INNING!

ESPN Stats & Info@ESPNStatsInfo 10 mins ago
George Springer is 1st leadoff hitter to hit a grand slam in 1st inning since April 16, 1986 (Danny Tartaball did it for Mariners vs Angels)

Single/Double odds over next 8 innings?

I see Anthony Kay is one of a few 1st Round picks, who remains unsigned. Any ideas if the Mets are offering below slot?

Any chance he returns?

By chance the Connecticut Tigers are playing at Brooklyn tonight, the Mets farm club in the New York-Penn League, and we are listening to the broadcast. At one point tonight Chris Jones talked a bit about Anthony Kay. Basically, he said that Kay has not signed yet, but all signs point to Kay eventually signing on with the with the Mets before the signing deadline on July 15.

Even before Chris Jones said that, I would have been very surprised if Kay returned to UConn for his senior year. There is simply too much money that Kay would have to leave on the table if he were not to turn pro.

Tyler Olander made his minor league debut last night pitching a scoreless inning for the Blue Jays of the Gulf Coast League. Olander never played for Jim Penders and company, but he is still a UConn Husky in pro baseball.
