Carmona has bruised forearm, is day to day

Fausto Carmona is listed as day to day with a bruised right forearm suffered in an intrasquad game today.

A liner off the bat of Damaso Espino pegged Carmona square in the forearm. Carmona immediately came out of the game.

According to head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff, X-rays on the arm were negative, so it appears nothing is broken. But Carmona's condition will be monitored closely in the coming days.

You might remember CC Sabathia had a similar scare in his last exhibition start before the '07 season, when a Reed Johnson liner hit him in the forearm. Sabathia recovered and was ready for Opening Day.

The Indians, obviously, are hoping Carmona recovers just as quickly, as they'll be relying on him as their No. 2 starter.

AC, way off topic - it's march, your close to Austin (Well, closer than WInter Haven) any chance you'll sneek away for some great music at sxsw. Things I've heard that I absolutley love... The Right On's "Do Your Thing" - they sound like a rockier version of Sly & the Family Stone, but they are from Spain.
The Felice Brothers "Frankies Gun" reminisant of mid 70's Dylan
The Hymns "I can't be what you want" Nice little groove to it
Ezra Furman & the Harpoons - " Take off your Sunglasses" just sounds great
Or, the Whale "Call & Response" Nice little roots sound ...
Anyway..if you can play hookie....

I've always wanted to check out SXSW, but Austin's not exactly next door. Might make it down there for a Springsteen show next month, if that's any consolation.
Thanks for the heads up on the tunes!
