No real amazing things here everyone who was expected to be here is here and no one who wasn’t expected to is so this is rather anti-climatic.
Junior Spivey has earned the starting job his is hitting .381 with 2 hr 11 RBI 24 hits and has a .603 slugging % I would seriously consider picking him up.
Erubiel Durazo is hurt for 6 weeks to bad to because he was tearing it up in spring
Todd Stottlemyre will start on April 9th and I hope he doesn’t do well because I want Brian Anderson and Miguel Batista both in the rotation. I am sure I will receive hate mail on this subject but what ever.
Local Perspective
