Scranton beat writer Chad Jennings got the opportunity to speak with minor league pitching coordinator Nardi Contreras after yesterday's game.  I encourage you to read the whole thing because there is some great information there, but I will summarize some of the more important information.

• Eric Hacker is on the DL because of some blister problems.
• Jeff Karstens is throwing batting practice.
• Humberto Sanchez is throwing bullpen sessions, and it still has not been determined whether he will remain a starter or move into the bullpen.
• Nardi was very impressed with Zach McAllister when he saw him pitch recently.
• Chris Garcia will be throwing 55 or so pitches today in and extended spring training game, so he appears to be working his way back.
• Nardi also mentioned that he is going to AA soon, possibly to see Dan McCutchen or Chase Wright to see if they are ready for promotion.
