Notable: Canizares, who signed with Atlanta after defecting from Cuba, has a .325 average in two seasons. . . . Lillibridge was promoted to Richmond on June 1 and became the R-Braves' player of the year (.287, 10 HR, 41 RBI, 28 SB). . . . Spiezio has World Series rings with the Angels and Cardinals. His three-run homer in the seventh inning of Game 6 helped the Angels win the 2002 Series. . . . Timmons set a Richmond record last year after being hit by a pitch 19 times.
Quotable: "Brent Lillibridge . . . still has things he needs to learn. With only two full seasons under his belt, the strides he made last year, I would expect him to make the same strides this year." -- Brundage
