depending on the lineup for cleveland, that is one lean that i really like.

Blue_Chip · Feb 27, 2008

The Mets might be worth backing, but it is too early to say without the lineups.

EstreetPicks · Feb 27, 2008

Then it's Maine's turn against the Cardinals on Thursday, with appearances by Duaner Sanchez, Scott Schoeneweis, Smith,Luggo, Padilla and Register.

The travel list is already up for tomorrow's game against the Cardinals and it would be easier to tell you who isn't on it. Put it this way: With Roger Dean Stadium a mere 35 minutes down I-95, it's a haven for the vets. And because its the Cards opener, the game is a sellout.

Anthony Reyes is the scheduled starter for St. Louis.

TODAY’S HURLERS:

Hugo Castellanos, Mark Worrell, Kelvin Jimenez and Jason Motte are each
scheduled to pitch after starter Anthony Reyes today

Left-hander Tom Gorzelanny will start for the Pirates against Philadelphia right-hander Kyle Kendrick. Also scheduled to pitch for the Pirates are Bryan Bullington, Phil Dumatrait, Jaret Wright, Juan Perez, John Grabow and Matt Capps.

Prospects Joe Savery and Josh Outman are also scheduled to pitch for Philadelphia.

UPDATE 9/28 10:22 am

TODAY...

the Pirates are playing the Phillies in their first Grapefruit League game of the year...Phil Dumatrait is slated to start against Philadelphia’s Kyle Kendrick (RH)....Bryan Bullington, T.J. Beam, Jaret Wright, Juan Perez, John Grabow and Matt Capps are also scheduled to pitch for the Bucs.

PHIL DUMATRAIT:

The 26-year-old lefthander is making his first start of the spring today...Was claimed off waivers from Cincinnati on October 26...Spent majority of 2007

season with Louisville (Reds’ AAA), where he went 10-6 with a 3.53 ERA in 22 starts...Ranked seventh in the International League in ERA...Also made six starts with the Reds,

making major league debut in Washington on August 2

ON ESPN

Braves bits: The starting infielders and Mark Kotsay won't make Thursday's trip to Vero Beach, Fla., for the Grapefruit League opener against the Dodgers. Hudson will start and be followed by Blaine Boyer, Chris Resop, Matt DeSalvo and Manny Acosta.

Torre did not release his batting order, but he said all of his regulars will start. That means that in addition to Pierre, Furcal and Garciaparra, Jeff Kent, James Loney, Andruw Jones, Matt Kemp and Russell Martin will start.

Righty Chad Billingsley had been scheduled to start the game, but he will be replaced by non-roster invitee Jason Johnson. Billingsley has a tight left groin muscle and instead will pitch in a Minor League simulated game. Johnson, a right-hander, will be followed to the mound by former Yankees pitchers Mike Myers and Tanyon Sturtze. Also expected to pitch for the Dodgers is former Brave Tom Martin, vying with Myers to be club's second left-handed reliever

Left-hander Wandy Rodriguez will start Thursday, but the game will feature two potential Astros starters. Rodriguez will be followed by another lefty, Mark McLemore. Each pitcher will toss two innings or 40 pitches, whichever comes first.

McLemore is one of many Houston hurlers ready to get started.

"That's what we come here to do, to play games," he said. "Throwing bullpens gets boring. It's fun to get some feedback from hitters, to let you know where you're at." Fout relief pitchers are slated to pitch one inning each in the opener at Winter Haven: Chad Paronto, Geoff Geary, Wesley Wright and Stephen Randolph.

Pitching plan: A couple unforeseen circumstances forced the Indians to rearrange their pitching lineup for Thursday's Grapefruit League opener against the Astros.

Right-hander Jake Westbrook was scratched from his scheduled start in the game because of arm soreness. He'll throw a bullpen session instead.

Left-hander Cliff Lee would have been the next logical choice to take Westbrook's start, but Lee has come down with a bad cold and won't be ready to go. That leaves right-handed non-roster invitee Jeff Harris to get the start. Harris spent last season in the Triple-A Buffalo rotation and bullpen

TODAY:

RHPJEFF HARRIS will start for the Indians against LHP WANDY RODRIGUEZ of the Astros… Also scheduled to pitch for the Indians are: RHP SCOTT

ELARTON, RHP JENSEN LEWIS, RHP JORGE JULIO, RHP RICK BAUER, RHP MATT GINTER, LHP REID SANTOS, RHP RICH RUNDLES, RHP

Baltimore will play host to Florida at Fort Lauderdale Stadium, and former first-round Draft pick Adam Loewen will be matched up against Sergio Mitre in the first of 29 spring games.

Baltimore is expected to start leadoff hitter Brian Roberts and veterans Kevin Millar and Luke Scott in addition to several other regulars, but all eyes will be placed firmly on Loewen. The southpaw made just six starts last year before he suffered a stress fracture in his pitching elbow, and the resulting operation ended his season prematurely.

Loewen is a prime candidate to pitch on Opening Day for the Orioles, but first, Trembley has to ascertain how much rust he has from missing close to a year of action. Thursday's spring opener will go a long way toward providing the answer, but Trembley said he's fairly certain that Loewen won't have any health issues inhibiting him.

"I don't think there's any question that he's healthy," Trembley said. "I think it will just be nice to get him to pitch. He probably would have benefited by pitching last year, but he certainly came in a hurry. Once he figured it out, he came in a hurry."

Following Loewen, the Orioles will send [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]RHP Chad Bradford, RHP Rocky Cherry, RHP Jon Leicester, LHP Jamie Walker [/FONT]and [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]RHP Esteban Yan [/FONT]to the mound

Hanley Ramirez and Dan Uggla are among the regulars who are traveling to Fort Lauderdale. On Thursday at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Sergio Mitre and Miller each will pitch. Mitre will start, with Miller, who projects to be one of the top three in the rotation, will toss a couple of innings in relief.

Nick Markakis - RF

Kevin Millar - 1B
Luke Scott - LF
Ramon Hernandez - C
Jay Gibbons - DH
Adam Jones - CF
Luis Hernandez - SS
Adam Loewen - P
Substitute Aubrey Huff for Gibbons and you probably have your Opening Day lineup - though the second baseman could change, too.
Jones and Scott are the only regulars who won't make the trip to Jupiter tomorrow.

Matt Belisle will start home opener against the Twins Thursday. Matt Belisle will start for the Reds with Francisco Cordero, Fogg, Mike Lincoln, Kent Mercker, Mike Stanton and David Weathers are also expected to pitch.

Right-hander Scott Baker will get the start for the Twins in Thursday's contest. Baker is scheduled to pitch two innings and he will be followed by left-hander Glen Perkins, who will throw two innings as well. Matt Guerrier, Pat Neshek and Casey Daigle are also scheduled to pitch in the contest. The starting lineup for the Twins in Thursday's game will be as follows: Gomez, center, Brendan Harris, second base, Joe Mauer, catcher, Michael Cuddyer, right field, Jason Kubel, left field, Craig Monroe, designated hitter, Mike Lamb, third baes, Garrett Jones, first base, Alexi Casilla, shortstop.

Mauer will catch a couple of innings and also play Friday in the Twins' spring training home opener against the Boston Red Sox. Manager Ron Gardenhire figured that fans who have traveled from out of town would like to catch a glimpse of Mauer

Today's lineup

Here's the lineup against the Twins today:

Hopper CF

Freel LF

BPhillips 2B

Encarnacion 3B
Bruce RF
APhillips 1B
Castro SS
Valentin C
Votto DH

It's 42 degrees here. They're giving wind-chill warnings. Could feel like it's in the 30s. Get out the parkas. Floridians tend to get a little worked up about a cold snap.

Noah Lowry and Kevin Correia top the contingent of pitchers scheduled to appear Thursday against the Cubs.

Ryan Dempster, trying to return to the rotation after three years as the closer, will open the Cactus League season Thursday when the Cubs face the San Francisco Giants.

The two teams face off at Scottsdale Stadium at 2:05 p.m. CT. The Cubs and Giants will play at HoHoKam Park on Friday in the Cubs' spring home opener. Thursday will be the first game-day look at new Cubs right fielder Kosuke Fukudome, who is expected to start. Manager Lou Piniella's projected lineup includes shortstop Ryan Theriot at the leadoff spot, followed by third baseman Ronny Cedeno, Fukudome, first baseman Derrek Lee, left fielder Matt Murton, catcher Geovany Soto, second baseman Alex Cintron and center fielder Felix Pie.

The Rangers travel to Tempe, Ariz. on Thursday at 4:05 p.m. CT to play the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, with left-hander Kason Gabbard on the mound

Mike Scioscia was unaware of the fact that his Angels have the best Spring Training record in the Majors over the past four years, but he had a ready explanation for their .614 winning percentage over that span.

"You're always trying to win a game, no matter what," Scioscia said in anticipation of Thursday's 2:05 p.m. PT Cactus League opener against the Rangers at Tempe Diablo Stadium. "One reason we might [perform well in Cactus play] is we're giving our young guys a look, and they're very talented."

Ervin Santana will be the Angels' spring starter, and he'll throw about 30 pitches, Scioscia said. Attempting to rebound from a disappointing 2007, Santana is coming off a tremendous winter performance in his native Dominican Republic with Caribbean Series champion Licey

Blanton will throw three innings in the A's Spring Training exhibition opener on Thursday.

The A's lineup for the exhibition opener is expected to be: RF Travis Buck, 2B Mark Ellis, 1B Daric Barton, LF Jack Cust, DH Dan Johnson, SS Bobby Crosby, C Kurt Suzuki, 3B Jack Hannahan and CF Chris Denorfia.

Geren made it clear that it's too early to read anything into his lineup. After all, he might bat Suzuki first or second at times this spring -- not because he's thinking about doing so during the regular season, but simply to get Suzuki three at-bats in some games without having to spend so much time behind the plate. Other than Blanton, other pitchers expected to make the trip and throw, either in the game or in the bullpen, are: Andrew Brown, Jeff Gray, Fernando Hernandez, Jay Marshall, Dan Meyer, Kirk Saarloos, Ryan Wing and Brad Ziegler.

The Brewers will begin that process with a look at right-hander Claudio Vargas, who's vying for a spot in the starting rotation with a handful of other hopefuls. Vargas will start against the A's, and he'll face right-hander Joe Blanton. The game will feature two things of interest to Brewers fans: They'll get to see the debut of Ryan Braun, the National League Rookie of the Year last season, in left field and the return of Bill Hall to the infield.

The Mariners play the Padres in the annual charity game at Peoria Stadium and the Seattle starting lineup is: Ichiro Suzuki (RF), Jose Vidro (DH), Brad Wilkerson (RF), Adrian Beltre (3B), Bryan LaHair (1B), Mike Morse (LF), Jose Lopez (2B), Jamie Burke (C), and Willie Bloomquist (SS). Left-hander Jarrod Washburn will start and throw between 40 and 45 pitches. Also slated to pitch are Batista, R.A. Dickey, Eric O'Flaherty and Brandon Morrow

Two Padres pitchers who were scheduled to throw in Thursday's charity game against the Mariners -- relievers Justin Hampson and Kevin Cameron -- have been scratched with minor injuries. They will be replaced by Joe Thatcher and Jared Wells

Three things going against the Dodgers-Pitching (Johnson,Myers and Sturtze?) Torre and the age of the vets. Torre always feuded with George about Spring Training. He hated how George wanted to win every game and made big deals out of the "Tampa" world series, etc. Torre doesn't care about winning. The starters, especially Garciaparra-Jones-Kent are been there done that guys. I am hoping to find more to my liking elsewhere and maybe get this line later +20 or more

I think I read something in a local paper that Cappy was going for Milwaukee instead of Vargas... let me hit the local stuff.

Did you catch the pitching change in the Detroit game. I put an update in.

The Rangers looked pretty good yesterday regardless of what how talented Scioscia's views his youngsters. I'll wait to see lineups first.

Don't have a feel either way. Scheduling is obviously adv Phils

I'm in the mood to fade a "Dunn-less, Griffey-less, starting #3 Belisle" Reds team. I'm not high on Baker, but he'll do when I'm getting plus money.

Toronto decided to bring no one to the ballpark today, so I will gladly lay 30 cents with Detroit.

Estreet, you're right about Torre not caring about ST games, but I am hoping the talent discrepancy on the diamond today makes up for the lack of motivation.

GL today everyone
