Spring '09 - Game Two Preview (updated)

The Cubs face the Brewers in Mesa at 2pm CT. Sean Marshall gets the first couple innings against Yovani Gallardo. Available for work after Marshall are Neal Cotts, Chad Fox, Chad Gaudin, Angel Guzman, Kevin Hart, Carlos Marmol and Mike Stanton (source).

Lou will probably put out some regulars who didn't play on Wendesday, including Aramis Ramirez and Alfonso Soriano Milton Bradley*. I'll update later when line-ups are announced.

Here are the starters for the Cubs:

Gathright (CF)
Miles (2B)
Bradley (RF)
Aramis (3B)
Hoffpauir (LF)
Fox (1B)
Bako (C)
Barney (SS)

No DH, pitchers are hitting. For Milwaukee it is Weeks/Duffy/Hardy/Braun/Cameron/Rivera/Nelson/McGehee

Casey McGehee is an ex-Cub. Good to see Darwin Barney getting in a game already. Fox and Hoffpauir are clearly being given extended looks this Spring. Hoffpauir should have the edge.
