More and more prospects are seeing game action as Spring Training gets into full swing...
- Brian Matusz bounced back from a rough first inning to strike out 6 in 2 2/3 IP, reports Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com. The 5th spot in the Orioles' rotation is Matusz's to lose.
- Casey Kelly threw two solid innings for the Red Sox in his last appearance, but as Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald notes, it's is poise as much as anything which is most impressive.
- J.P Arencibia is having a solid spring reports Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. After a rough 2009 campaign that began with so much hype, the 24-year-old catcher is starting over and learning from the veterans in Blue Jays' camp, adds Jordan Bastain of MLB.com.
- When you think of left-handed pitchers competing for the 5th spot in the Cincinnati Reds' rotation, you don't immediately think of Matt Maloney, but he's pitching well too, says John Fay of the Cinncinnati Enquirer.
- The Pittsburgh Pirates expect to be led by young players, but they have to be pleased when they get performances like this from Pedro Alvarez and Jose Tabata, as noted by Bill Chastain of MLB.com. Brad Lincoln also threw two innings in the game, and has an outside shot at making the Pirates rotation.
- The Detroit Tigers' leadoff spot is Austin Jackson's to lose, but as John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press reports, Jackson is doing nothing to lose it.
