No word on exactly how hard Ceda was throwing in his start for Boise, but I know he throws a pretty straight fastball that sits in the high 90s.
As far as Colvin, he's cooled down a bit, with his average falling into the 270s and 280s. Best case scenario sees Colvin contributing in late 2008.
Like you, I'm a Murton fan, but I'm concerned he is going to get pushed to the bench in lieu of Carlos Lee or some other power producing outfielder. That being said, Murton is a guy that has shown nice poise and character, so I wouldn't expect that to hurt his production. He seems to be a guy that will do what it takes to succeed, and typically guys that have the makeup, skillset, and drive end up succeeding.
