Man, wouldn't it have been great to have been in Florida yesterday? Bright sunny skies, temperatures in the 80's, and the first workout for Atlanta's pitchers and catchers. Now that's the way to spend a Friday in February!

Here's some points of interest from the first workout:

With the exception of Mike Hampton, the starting rotation looks healthy.

Blaine Boyer still hasn't been cleared to throw from the mound; he spent his afternoon long-tossing with Roger McDowell.

Mike Remlinger says his gimpy shoulder feels strong and he'll be competing against Macay McBride and John Foster for a bullpen spot.
