Phoenix — I was pressing. After three at-bats in the evaluation game at Brewers Fantasy Camp on Monday, I was 0 for 3. In my first at-bat, the rightfielder made a running catch on a ball I thought was headed for the gap. Then I grounded out twice to shortstop.
Behind the batting cage, Bill Schroeder, Cecil Cooper, Don Money, Steve Woodard and Bob Skube were taking notes.
The coaches would be drafting teams later for the games that begin in earnest on Tuesday. And I was zero-for-stinking-lousy-three. I had only one more at-bat to make some kind of impression.
