		<title>Padres&#8217; Fifth Starter to Start in Minors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Padres manager Bud Black hinted on Tuesday that he may enter the season with an 11-man pitching staff, the North County Times reports. This will mean that Mat Latos will not see his first start until April 19 at the earliest. Keep this in mind if you own or are planning to bid on Latos. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Posey Starting to Heat up in Desert &#8211; Hits First Homer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Buster Posey went 2-for-4 and hit his first homer of the spring Tuesday in the Giants&#8217; 6-2 defeat of the White Sox. The Giants have yet to try Posey in the infield this spring, and they may not play him anywhere other than catcher or DH in games at any point before sending him down. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blake Takes Day Off to Nurse Rib-Cage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Casey Blake said Tuesday that his back and ribs are feeling better. The third baseman strained a rib-cage muscle during Monday&#8217;s spring game, but he showed up to Dodgers camp on Tuesday and will do some light drills later in the afternoon. Blake, 36, hit .280/.363/.468 with 18 home runs, 25 doubles and 79 RBI [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kershaw Relaxed in Spring Training Debut</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Clayton Kershaw allowed one run over two innings of relief against the Giants on Monday. Like Billingsley, Kershaw was making his spring debut. The 21-year-old southpaw yielded one run on one hit while walking one and fanning one. If he can manage to work his way deeper in games this season, we see no reason [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blake Strains Rib Cage Against Giants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Casey Blake left Monday&#8217;s game against the Giants with a strained rib-cage muscle. The club will already be without Russell Martin to start the season, but fortunately the injury to Blake is not considered serious. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it makes much sense, it being March 8, I don&#8217;t want to take a lot of chances,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Once Again, Iannetta&#8217;s Rival is Nice Shiny Object</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Miguel Olivo went 3-for-3 with a homer, a double and three RBI against the Padres on Monday. The question on the minds of all Chris Iannetta owners is whether Jim Tracy will fall for Olivo like he did Yorvit Torrealba last year. If Olivo gets off to a fast start, those possessing Iannetta might be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Headley Homers for the First Time in Five-Hole</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chase Headley hit his first home run of the spring in San Diego&#8217;s 5-4 loss to Colorado on Monday. Headley will be looked upon to hit directly behind Adrian Gonzalez in 2010, and this very well could be a make-or-break season for the 26-year-old. (Rotowire)

		<title>Diaz Back in a Groove in Grapefruit League</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Matt Diaz walked and scored twice while going 0-for-1 against the Tigers on Monday. The big storyline to watch in Braves camp right now is Jason Heyward, who has been on an absolute tear out of the gates to begin Grapefruit League play. If Heyward earns the starting job in right field, Diaz will platoon [...]]]></description>

		<title>Latos Solid Against Mariners in Cactus Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mat Latos started and allowed one run and two hits Friday against the Mariners. Latos seemed like a pretty good bet to keep his rotation spot after a nice major league debut last year, but now he&#8217;s locked in a battle with Tim Stauffer and Sean Gallagher and he&#8217;s at a big disadvantage because the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fielder and Brewers Talking Extension?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Prince Fielder told Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that the Brewers met with his agent Scott Boras on Wednesday. Bingo. Fielder says the two sides talked about an extension, however no offer was made. Fielder, who turns 26 in May, remains under team control through the 2011 season. He&#8217;s on tap to make $10.5 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diaz Fails to Impress with Bases Loaded</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hitting with six-men on base, Matt Diaz went 0-for-3 with two strikeout Thursday versus the Pirates. Diaz would seem to deserve a chance to start regularly after hitting .313/.390/.488 in 371 at-bats last year, but it&#8217;s well worth noting that he was a pedestrian .255/.349/.400 against right-handers. If the Braves opt to carry Jason Heyward, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wells to Start Cubs Cactus League Opener</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Randy Wells will start the Cubs&#8217; Cactus League opener on Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reports. With Ted Lilly likely to miss the start of the season, the Cubs are looking at Sean Marshall and Tom Gorzelanny for one of their rotation vacancies so as to avoid having five right-handed starters. Wells&#8217; place looks to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brewers Eyeing Fielder Extension Cautiously</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said that he won&#8217;t set any &#8220;artificial deadlines&#8221; for talks on a contract extension for first baseman Prince Fielder. &#8220;Prince has said he wants to be here, we have said we would love to have him here and we know our fans would love to have him here,&#8221; Attanasio said Saturday.

		<title>Latos Won&#8217;t Be Handed Starting Spot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There will be some heavy competition for the fifth spot in the Padres&#8217; rotation. &#8220;We’ve got much more pitching depth than we’ve had,&#8221; said Padres manager Bud Black, who will have to choose between Mat Latos, Wade LeBlanc, Cesar Ramos, Tim Stauffer and Sean Gallagher. It&#8217;s worth noting that Stauffer and Gallagher are out of [...]]]></description>
