Crooked Pitch

Today’s pitch count is 7.

1. The Arizona Diamondbacks catcher job is up for grabs. Chris Snyder is making the decision difficult as he’s proving to be a leader for the club. Miguel Montero, the other DBacks catcher competitor, is still bothered by a nagging injury to his finger that he fractured during winter ball.
2. The St. Louis Cardinals pitching rotation has a whole lot of question marks. The are two open slots for four or more pitching candidates. It seems that Matt Clement will not be ready to pitch by Opening Day.
3. “He’s right on track to have a big year,” pitching coach Bill Farrell said about Red Sox starter Jon Lester. Lester came to camp 20 pounds heavier and looks very strong.
4. Cubs outfield prospect, Sam Fuld, had a superb Arizona Fall League showing. Could Fuld be the front runner for the center field job in Chicago?
5. ”Very impressive. The ball jumps off his bat.” That’s what Cubs manager, Lou Pinella, said after watching Kosuke Fukudome take batting practice.
6. The Colorado Rockies contest for starting second baseman has a whole bunch of candidates.
7. Josh Fields is the front runner for the White Sox third base job.
