Pittsburgh
Morton and Lincoln, both right-handers competing for the fifth spot in the rotation, are to see the most time on the mound -- two innings each. Chris Resop, Daniel Moskos, Daniel McCutchen, Justin Thomas and Cesar Valdez are to follow with one inning each.

Price will start Saturday's game and is scheduled to pitch one inning. Other available pitchers for the game include Cesar Cabral, Chris Archer, Matt Bush, Rob Delaney, Dirk Hayhurst, Adam Russell, Richard De Los Santos, Brian Baker and Brandon Gomes.

Actually leaning towards Pittsburgh in this game at first glance.

Det vs Tor
Left-hander Brad Thomas and right-hander Robbie Weinhardt, both bullpen candidates, are scheduled to follow Coke, as are right-hander Alberto Alburquerque and prospect Duane Below. Brett Cecil, who tossed seven innings of two-run ball in his only start against Detroit last year, is slated to start for Toronto.

The Tigers will send a good portion of their positional roster on the trip, including Jackson, Alex Avila, Brandon Inge, Scott Sizemore, Boesch and Ryan Raburn. Cale Iorg, son of former Blue Jays great Garth Iorg, is also on the travel roster.

Cecil will be followed by right-hander Scott Richmond, who is also expected to put in two innings of work. Richmond is one of seven candidates for the final two spots in Toronto's rotation. After Richmond, the pitching schedule will be rounded out with David Purcey, Wilfredo Ledezma, Jesse Carlson, Mike Hinckley and Luis Perez. If necessary, right-handers Alan Farina and Henderson Alvarez will be available to throw an inning or two.

Atl vs NYM
Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman, who are featured on this week's cover of Sports Illustrated, will be part of this first traveling party. Other notable position players scheduled to play include five-time All-Star catcher Brian McCann, Nate McLouth, Eric Hinske and Jordan Schafer, who will be used as the designated hitter.

Jurrjens will start and is scheduled to pitch two innings. Top closer candidates Craig Kimbrel and Jonny Venters are scheduled to throw one inning apiece.

Jenrry Mejia is starting for the Mets with Manny Acosta and Pedro Beato coming out of the bullpen. Castillo will start at second base.

Philadelphia left-hander Cole Hamels will start Saturday. Vance Worley, Ryan Feierabend, Brian Schlitter and Mike Zagurski also are scheduled to pitch.

Bartolo Colon will start with Joba Chamberlain, Dave Robertson, David Phelps, Hector Noesi and Eric Wordekemper are also scheduled to pitch for New York.

Girardi said that he plans to send all of his regular lineup to the plate against Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels, save for catcher Russell Martin, whose first appearance is being delayed by injury.


The Yankees are usually very high priced in spring training but I am leaning towards them right now.

Even without all of the starting lineups I am going with the following:

Yankees -120 2 Units
Atlanta +110 2 Units
Pitt +120 1 Unit
Toronto -125 1 Unit

GL All!
