QUOTE SHEET Omid Namazi on the first week of Spring Training "Overall, I was very pleased with the attitude of the players, and the intensity they demonstrated throughout these sessions. A couple of players worth mentioning are Allie Kemp, Kim Pickup, and Jen Lalor-Nielsen. This week unfortunately our U.S. players as well as Christine Latham are gone, but at the same time we get the chance to get a better look at some of the tryout players."
