Victor Zambrano had a very good start yesterday against the Baltimore Orioles.  He went five innings and gave up only one run.  Most importantly, he didn’t walk a single batter in his first start of the spring.

This is old news, but Kaz Matsui is out for at least three weeks with a knee injury.  I have mixed feelings about making a move for Alfonso Soriano, but he’d be a pretty good fit on this team with second base wide open with Matsui being down.

Billy Wagner was shut down until this weekend with a sore finger although he’s said he’ll be ready for opening day.  Not to state the obvious, but losing Wagner would be a blow to the pen.   It would force Jorge Julio to close and we’d be replacing our top reliever with someone who normally wouldn’t have made the team.

This is a solid column on Rickey Henderson.  I still think it’d be interesting if we brought him on board for the season.
