It is -- three Dennis and Callahan about a Major League Baseball network MLB network the Red Sox will be featured. At both 5 and 10 o'clock as part of MLB network's thirty clubs in thirty days spring training series of watching mr. it's very well done. Tonight's episode preview the 2010 season with the Red Sox with field reports interviews with. You know and Josh Beckett and John Lackey and Dustin Pedroia of course batter to return to Fort Myers and do this for MLB network our great friend Hazel Mae hello hazel how are you.

I diet I got yeah well we we mr. down their black couple a days I -- this time is better next. I now actually I'm looking for exactly -- you guys are usually come down just -- that gives you an accurate report. That early state -- happening at last.

Yeah we will relax a little later this year we're not by -- days until the games start new and on the players -- less cooperative but you and there are always cooperative you right nasal. Art and some level aren't you and did you you actually talked to Josh Beckett he wouldn't talk to us and said no.

Well actually no I I would dare he was part of our. Our our series it -- in the studio analyst.

And that it.

Basically he was talking about his -- You know possible contract expansion and really what he's that would that there was much to report he. He talked Al Leiter with their our good friend and ally in the outback and of course he would love. Continue on -- about the -- that right now there are fox he was very generic.

At that basically get on a given -- anything that they were still talking and that there was nothing imminent.

You know frankly hazel that was sort of the theme that we noticed when we were down their from Wednesday to Wednesday there wasn't much going -- which is just a great deal once -- you've been there for a day or two and looked around what's what's strike sure what interest to about the Red Sox camp.

You know it's funny because there are a lot of new faces that you dot lacked in 2008.

And you've got your Victor Martinez and Mike Cameron and and that Adrian Beltre. And got my of course buy out what struck me is that.

It fit really well and I -- my camera and -- and the -- for fifteenth -- in what camp like with the Red Sox. He said the actor Barry you're going.

He thought it would be a little bit more attention they'll with the expectation for the -- fact that you know is that what the win the World Series every year. But it was very loose and talk in the -- black he. Ian Beckett Lester you know they've turned out it really goes down there. Out in the rotation he was actually honestly played golf with -- and -- just before -- after our our our interview.

And I how city and I I was over Hillary -- I asked for alligators and thank.

And that -- that his transition I would direct hit it and you know -- really a lot of their. Net that he thought so I I think that bodes well as our team chemistry going into 2000 and.

You guys I'd never spent any time talking to around John Lackey inedible few had previous two yesterday the day before when you did. But he struck me is a completely different person that I had seen on the Molly was it --

It would absolutely. Covered at the American League.

Opt out followed his career -- never had a chance to actually speak about.

And it was ironic is I knew I had a couple of minutes with them following that work out and I quote dot spec.

The fact that Josh -- act that that was it Gillick and try to get it quite scoop on how that personality was.

And not off some guy great dude -- but he had the ironic it's not I gotta be honest with you. I see you you know because this particular competitor out you were angry that now yes --

Fired up and is -- that he look like it was a bad -- everyday.

But he had bad it is grant. I'm talking about joining him that the rotation and have been hung out with options on how much you've been looking forward to the Red Sox yankees rivalry get back -- what you know darn. You'd get a lot of gains against the Yankees how's -- gonna feel to be part of the Red Sox yankees rivalry he said that was one of the big reason why I joined the team. And that's not surprising given you know the competitiveness and on black so people in --

Hazel what do you think. What are you here is gonna happen when Michael clearly he wants out will he get his wish. Any time or.

I find it hard to believe act like global will be with the Red Sox. On opening day it not. After that and I actually stopped and he was -- his way into the clock out and I said how you doing. And he's sitting on feeling good and the market I think so are yet feeling kind of left out argued. You know -- elected carpet and attacked and you know and very. Noncommittal. -- hit respond back it's gotta be -- for a veteran like that obviously injuries. Are big reason why -- particular ethnic and by if I hit it big and Beltre at -- you know a former World Series MVP. On the think he that I am at it would be really awkward fact. From -- like -- very knock that oh he did not want it to crack. Until he finishes. I at least one game whether these spring training all of our intrepid yes simulated game you wanna talk. But yeah yeah yeah that it cannot buy it yet it's a sheepish grin on Benedict by continually to work ardent and back in --

That might have been cliches at least he spoke to reason -- to -- talking -- no we're not I don't everybody. -- and a sort of -- if you put up Major League Baseball MLB network is doing thirty clubs in thirty days how many of the thirty are you assigned to nasal.

I have.

And it up at eight here in Florida I have a couple paid off and then I had west Arizona and police uncovered six there. The fort cool and why it into Democrat and my biggest challenges. When I sit -- and that -- OK I use the gag coming up the elbow or shoulder there you don't want that the content on all or -- you know bones are. And I'm sure and that's up somewhere down the road back.

trying to teach active.

Of everybody's conditioning and you know what they're rehabbing from had been the biggest challenge for me.

I would assume if you haven't gone over the twins camp you will and a few Hal what do they say it about Joe Nathan -- yeah what is it about that.

Oh well you know they find because our reporter that Allah and would be covering very very that the.

When did date the new Rome and I.

People -- backed out told me that tell you would enter it'll actually got choked up and it looked like he hit inside a well kept it. Devastated by the news.

That the twins according aren't part -- really gonna let go dictate where they go from here that said it's gonna be at least a couple weeks.

Before they basic -- whether he's gonna go to surgery or not but that in general feels like he can pitch through the -- until it. Like it really is out. To show and that he couldn't Ctrl+Alt adopters. You want that on -- Edberg and ultimately if you want try to get through it you know what the order and that decision if you want to go through surgery and I got to be devastating. For a twenty group you know the so much promise going into this year actually contributing to target field. And then you've got till now are at the end I need it. It devastating for the twins fans.

What what what would your bread did you get up to Tampa hazel did you get to and yankees camp.

I did not that was actually over with as Philly. And pocket right holiday I did not get overtake you can't great aunt singer covered the Yankees kept up I wasn't that unfortunately we don't get cannot be our -- help which is. Pretty good I'd like to itself to -- you know.

On the -- hotels that is an. Did you. Did you guys consider Nomar Garciaparra is an analyst he's obviously signed on with the ESPN. And we'll see how that goes to the you know higher in two and the open exit MLB --

You know what I I don't know anything about that -- goes -- a couple I would say a month ago. Nomar actually came in. To add the studio to act in effect that. What are our analysts and they're not uncommon we get a lot of players that they not even coming by leaping toward. Take a look around and while they're apparently won't sit down and chat about their career. By I'm not sure whether he was considered not -- whether this was being. He wanted to be with Emma Clark I know he is now without our competitor for -- eight. And of course Alex and wild but I don't know what happened that are that.

hazel is a Sarasota or Bradenton on your schedule pirates are Orioles.

You know what I left the pirates -- have to say probably one had he -- enjoyable camp I've been Q and.

beyond that the pirates they said Bailey can beat anybody for you -- the -- protecting the that would act that you know I thought.

gathered and invited the -- at one point because -- that you can Mike up whoever you want to consider what whoever you. You need to sit down like -- down. You know they're trying to. I thought that let it it's tough when you're going into everybody's -- if you didn't -- eighteenth straight and it equitably and lead in the report -- all the no no and I told you last year I you know on Brock by stick down and -- never saw a -- Dayton schedule with a crazy thought it looked like them from camp the camp.

Why there are narrow fairway no no no you're not a problem for you pay now final question you should now -- When you decide to retire the essence gonna have a one day contract you bring you back and let you retire as a member -- the it will do that really.
