<description><![CDATA[Brewers SP Jeff Suppan continues to struggle this spring, allowing five more earned runs against the Angels on Friday. In three innings, he gave up six hits and three walks, forcing an early end to his scheduled five-inning stint. "It was my first day throwing all of my pitches and I was pretty pumped up about that," said Suppan. "I was amped up and I missed with a lot of pitches." In 12 innings of Grapefruit League play, he's surrendered 12 earned runs on 18 hits, including six homers.        <br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Our View				It is the first career pole award for Logano, and it comes at one of his worst tracks. He finished outside the top 30 in both starts at Bristol in his rookie season. By winning the pole, he broke Mark Martin's streak of two consecutive poles at the track. Now, Logano will try to stop his teammate Kyle Busch from winning three straight races at the track.				<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[      				The News				According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, the Cardinals signed linebacker  Joey Porter to a three-year, $17.5 million contract on Friday.				      				Our View				The contract has a max value of $24.5 million, which seems pretty steep for Porter. The Cards likely would have been better off bucking up for Karlos Dansby, but it's too late for that now. They've decided to make the soon to be 33-year-old Porter an every-down backer, and despite his nine sacks last season, he's certainly on the down-slope of his career. The Cards have been spending a lot of money lately, but the talent pool they got in return doesn't quite match up.				<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Our View				Farnsworth gave up six hits and a walk over his three frames, and now sports an embarrassing 11.74 ERA this spring. Looks like it's time to put the kibosh on his starting status. Expect to see him in the pen this season.				<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Our View				Bonderman looks to be on the outs as far as the Tigers' rotation is concerned. He has been battered this spring to the tune of a 9.35 ERA and it looks like his career resurgence has yet to arrive. Add him to the long list of pitchers that just can't get it together after major shoulder surgery.				<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[      				The News				According to Larry Stone on Twitter, Mariners' manager Don Wakamatsu believes that  Cliff Lee suffered his abdominal strain when he collided with Arizona catcher Chris Snyder last Monday.				      				Our View				This may be reason behind why Lee threw at Snyder and got slapped with a five game suspension. He was treated for the injury on Friday, but we won't much about him until he's reevaluated in a week. Whether the suspension holds or the injury flares up, it looks as if he may miss his first start of the season.				<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Our View				This was an impressive outing for the young hurler, but unfortunately his low K-rate makes him a dicey fantasy play. His success this season will rely on inducing plenty of groundball outs, so if he can do that he'll help in a few categories, but owners will really miss the Ks.				<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Our View				Smith isn't a candidate to make the Rockies' rotation, but he's likely first in line if injury strikes or the club is in need of a spot start.

<description><![CDATA[Albert Pujols hit his first home run of the spring, but right-hander Chris Carpenter was pounded for seven runs Friday in the St. Louis Cardinals' 7-6 loss to the Florida Marlins. Carpenter gave up six runs on seven hits in the first inning. He threw 21 of his 29 pitches in the first inning for strikes, and the Marlins didn't miss. Eleven batters came to the plate, with Chris Coghlan singling twice in the inning. "I think he'd be the first one to say he probably didn't have the stuff he normally has," Coghlan said about Carpenter. "He's so good that if you don't capitalize when you have him on the ropes then it's going to be tough to get him." After Coghlan and Emilio Bonifacio led off the first with singles, Dan Uggla hit a soft, potential force-out grounder to short, but Bonifacio beat the throw to second and Uggla was given a fielder' choice, loading the bases. Rookie Logan Morrison, trying to win the first base job, followed with a two-run double. "You don't want to see six runs o<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Durable left-hander J.P. Howell might not be ready to open the regular season with the Tampa Bay Rays because of a weak shoulder. Howell has won more games in relief than any other pitcher over the last two seasons, but he has yet to pitch this spring. Manager Joe Maddon said Friday that fitness tests taken in February revealed a lack of strength in Howell's shoulder.<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[      				The News				Updating a previous report,  Adam Jones did end up working out for several NFL teams in New Orleans after all on Friday, according to Pro Football Talk.				      				Our View				Apparently the reporter for the Times Picayune who reported the no-show was in the wrong spot. Pacman was there all along and is currently working out for five teams. He may have a shot after all.				<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[      				The News				Kevin Slowey had another solid spring outing on Friday, allowing just one run (via a solo home run) in three innings of work against the Mets. He struck out two while walking two.				      				Our View				His spring ERA now rests at 0.82. After having his 2009 season cut short by injury, he is beginning to look like a decent late-round sleeper option in mixed leagues.				<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[      				The News				According to the Seattle Times, the Mariners are considering playing  Jose Lopez at third base this season and moving new acquisition Chone Figgins to second base.				      				Our View				The Mariners have already tried this out in spring training, so apparently it's going well. While this would be a great move for fantasy owners, providing more flexibility for both players, it seems like a dicey move for the M's. One of the reasons they acquired Figgins was for his defense at the hot corner, and one of the reasons they improved so much last season was because they were so sound defensively. It's uncertain why they would want to mess with that, but we'll trust Don Wakamatsu.				<br/><br/>8 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[      				The News				According to the San Jose Mercury News,  Pablo Sandoval exited Friday's spring game after being spiked in the shin.				      				Our View				There was a collision at home plate in the first inning. Sandoval scored, but catcher Lou Marson had his spikes up and Kung Fu Panda got it in the right shin. No word yet on the seriousness of the injury, but while painful this doesn't seem to be a very serious injury. Expect him to rest for a day or two and get back to business.				<br/><br/>8 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[      				The News				For the first time this year,  Casey Mears has qualified on time for a Cup race, according to NASCAR.com.				      				Our View				Mears had narrowly missed qualifying on time for the previous four races, but he will be in the field for Sunday's race at Bristol. Mears' Keyed-up Motorsports team recently signed a deal to receive engines and other equipment from Richard Childress Racing, and it may be the reason he was able to get over the hump.				<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>
