- Joba got roughed up in his third inning of work today, yielding 6 ER. Girardi isn’t concerned — yet.
- Jeff Larish had two more hits for the Tigers and played 3B today. We’ll see how long he can keep this up.
- Ryan Raburn may not have a position, but don’t let that bother you. Neither did Ben Zobrist. Raburn was 2 - 3 with a HR and a walk today. On a related note, Scott Sizemore was hitless in three at bats with 2Ks. today.
- I don’t know what to make of Jose Batista. He finished last season very strong and has started off the spring on fire. Another HR and 2B gives him 3 HR and 6 RBI so far…and a 0.643 batting average.
- Pat Burrell added another hitless game today and is now down to 0.077. He has no leash left.
- Playing 1B, Eric Chavez had two HRs today. I know it won’t last, but it is good to see.
- Mike Aviles played today, but it was 2B. He had two hits.

- Josh Reddick had another strong game for the Red Sox and is up to 0.471 on the Spring. Barring injury, I just don’t see a place for him on the 25-man roster.
- Don Kelly is off to a fast start for the Tigers after his 3 - 4 today. He played 3B and Inge is still not back, so you never know.
- Ah…Nick Johnson. Takes some games off because he’s injured, but then comes back and hits two home runs. Only certain types of owners can roster Nick Johnson.
- Danny Valencia hit the go ahead HR today for the Twins. He is a long shot to make the team, but games like today help.
- Mark Kotsay stole his second base of the spring today. Ozzie said his team will run more this year…
- Aaron Laffey went 2 IP today and gave up just one hit. He is competing for a rotation spot with Cleveland.
- Cahill had a poor start today for the A’s going 2 IP, 4 H, 3 ER and 1 BB.

- Scott Sizemore is down to 0.182 after an 0-2 today. He was batting 9th.
- Dontrelle Willis only allowed 1 walk and 0 hits in 2 IP.
- Brian Matusz with 6 Ks today in 2 2/3 IP.
- While it highly unlikely that someone other than Joba or Hughes will be the 5th starter for the Yankees, Aceves did go 4 innings today and allowed 0 hits and 0 walks.
- Pat Burrell is 1 - 10 this spring and might likely have to fight Hank Blalock for at bats at DH (if/when he signs).
- Joey Gathright batted lead off and was 0 - 2 with a walk for the Jays.
- Teagarden was 0 - 2 today in his battle with Salty for the catcher spot in Texas.
- Michael Brantley was 3 - 4 today out of the leadoff spot for the Indians.
- Kyle Farnsworth got roughed up today, giving up 6 hits and 3 BB. Yikes.
- Chris Getz is 0 -9 this spring after another hitless game. He did play SS though and so with Callaspo at 2B this allowed Josh Fields to play 3B (and he hit a HR).
- Doug Fister was a longer shot to make the rotation in Seattle. Today didn’t help as he gave up 2 hits, 2 BB and 3 runs in 2 IP. Meanwhile Ryan Feierabend started his spring with 2 hitless innings. He’s a very long shot to make the rotation coming off elbow surgery that saw him miss all of 2009.
- Adam Moore was 3 - 3 today for the Mariners.

- Clay Buchholz got roughed up today. He’s competing for a rotation spot in Boston.
- Boof Bonser is looking for a middle relief spot for the Red Sox. He went 2 IP today with 1 hit and 3 Ks. He’s not without talent so keep an eye on him.
- Austin Jackson was on base two times in three plate appearances today.
- Jeremy Bonderman gave up 6 ER in less than an IP today.
- Randy Ruiz is on fire. He hit a GS today while playing first base.
- With Joe Nathan back getting tests, it is time to pay attention to the late-inning relief for the Twins. Matt Guerrier, Pat Neshek and Jon Rauch all pitched well today for Minnesota.
