We talked a bit about Stewart here, Stroup believes he'll platoon with Jose Lopez, getting the righties. Another reason you shouldn't own him.
Josh Hamilton is moving forward with rehab - could be early June now.
Joe Mauer has stepped up workouts, still no time table on his return.
We talked about Jon Rauch needing to suffer his job, and B.J. Upton gave him a hand last night with a family run. I smell committee before Francisco.
Expect Victor Martinez back from the DL today after a solid rehab campaign.
Jose Bautista is probably to cut the DL and only drop a few years with a sore neck.
Jonathan Broxton continues to fight by walking 2 of the 3 he faced. Stroup is calling for Vincente Padilla, but see for Hong-Chih Kuo as my personal favorite to get a look.
Chase Utely is head to "extended spring training" as the knee rehab is complete. Maybe he can have some batting practice off Brandon Webb who now has permanent residency.
Ubaldo Jimenez had another bad outing last night, he believes he observed a fault in his delivery. I abide by my Mike Hampton pact of never owning a Rockies pitcher.
Johann Santana is approaching to a park near you - tour dates could get in late June, early July.
Johnny Cueto was pushed to Sunday for his Cincinnati debut, expect Mike Leake to be pushed out.
Ryan Dempster looked solid against LA, allowing 1 run in 7 innings. I'll try to leave about April.
Erik Bedard may be getting used to having a broad rank of motion again, 7 innings and 2 runs against the Rangers. He took a no-hit bid into the sixth. Watch for now mixed leagues.
Fausto Carmona is my Wandy Rodriguez. I simply don't need to think he's not a bum. He proved me wrong again by allowing 1 run in 8 against the A's.
Brian Matusz is look to return mid-May.
David Aardsma was closed down for a few years with forearm stiffness. Shouldn't be major.
Delmon Young could be back any day for the Twins.
