Rich Hill starts today and needs a good one to get himself back on track. To date, his Spring numbers have been ugly. He is yet to make it through four innings, let alone six, which is what I hope he can make today. After 3 k's and no walks in his first Spring appearance, Rich has given up 14 walks and has struck-out only 5 in 10.2 innings of work.
He'll have a full bullpen backing him up.
Kevin Hart
Bob Howry
Tim Lahey
Carlos Marmol
Sean Marshall
Carmen Pignatiello
Michael Wuertz
Freshly minted closer Kerry Wood has today off.
The Reed Johnson pursuit is just ramping up. MLB Trade Rumors (and here) has these teams looking at Johnson:
Cubs
Mets
Red Sox
Rays
Rangers
Padres
Jayson Stark (sub. req.) has this today
Two baseball men we spoke with Monday described Johnson as "the perfect fit" for the Cubs....If the Cubs do reel in Johnson, it could free them to trade Matt Murton in the next few days. We're hearing that the Mets, who have scouted Johnson extensively, are not interested.
There are conflicting reports regarding the Mets and Reed, so we'll see how this plays out.
