Prospects dominate first intrasquad game

Though no stats are kept on these games, it's nice to see three young guys, who all have an outside chance at making the team, perform well in their first game action of the spring.

Jon Niese, Bobby Parnell and Dillon Gee each threw two innings of shut out baseball yesterday.

At this point in spring training, the pitchers are usually light years ahead of the batters, so don't read into it too much. Still, it's nice to see these guys out there and pitching well. They're likely the future of the franchise.
