ITEM


>From mlb.com:

The first impression of Myers around camp was that he is a man of few words. Of his first day, he said simply: "I had some nerves when I first stepped in. I just wanted to take a couple of good swings just to relax a little bit. But I think it went well.
Derek Shelton watched the session, and the Rays hitting coach spoke glowingly of the coveted prospect.
"The thing that's the most impressive is the bat speed," Shelton said. "The way the ball comes off his bat. You can see it not only when he's hitting on the field, but when he's hitting off a tee. You don't see very many people who generate that kind of bat speed. First day, yeah, it's exciting to see."
Shelton noted that the sound of the ball coming off Myers' bat is unique, adding to the budding mythology of Phenom Myers.
"It's a different sound," Shelton said. "You see that when you see the bat speed or the torque he creates. It's loud. You don't hear many guys that can create that sound."
Where does Myers' bat speed rank with some of the guys on the team right now?
"It's near the top," Shelton said.
LOSER
Berliners. Stunning decision to send power-hitting phenom Wil Myers to Riptorns for rent-a-player Jennings may rank second only to the Trout Trade Folly as pretrial preparation distractions erode Winick's fantasy baseball mojo.


WINNER
Riptorns.  With the ball-shredding power machine Wil Myers on reserve list, Rips ready to explode on March 17 with plenty of draft day cash to burn and a Damon trophy to earn.
