The World Baseball Classic is in full swing now, but Spring Training soldiers on with those left behind. Sure, Harry Ford continued his weird dominance of the event while Shohei Ohtani continued to do very Shohei Ohtani things, and Oneil Cruz still hits a ball harder than anyone when he can make contact. Seth \u201cQuarterrican\u201d Lugo pitched four scoreless innings to lead Puerto Rico to victory, and Michael Wacha had a weird outing in relief for USA during their win over Brazil. But guys like Brandon Drury and Kevin Newman still want to find a way to play in MLB this year, so the games in the Cactus and Grapefruit leagues must go on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Here\u2019s today\u2019s lineup; it continues to be uninspiring while seemingly half the team is scattered around the globe doing mercenary work for their ancestral homes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Nothing against those guys I mentioned earlier, but when they join with Josh Rojas to form the heart of your order, it\u2019s difficult to expect much of interest to happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Kris Bubic will take the mound for his second official appearance of spring. The stuff looked completely normal last time out, so the goal is just to see him continue to build up and not get hurt as we trudge toward Opening Day. Here are the guys on the roster who could pitch after him:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The odds are heavily against any of these pitchers making the Opening Day roster, though I did attempt to wishcast Oliv\u00e1rez onto the team in my latest roster prediction. But hey, if you don\u2019t want to listen to this extremely Spring Training game, there is still plenty of WBC to watch! Team Italy is taking on Brazil as this post goes live, and Panama at Puerto Rico isn\u2019t far off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t lose heart, Opening Day is less than three weeks away!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
