No trade is imminent
Ned says the spring-training trade market probably will heat up starting Monday, but he also said there is nothing out there that especially sparks his interest at this point, at least where a 3B is concerned. He also now says that Blake DeWitt will be given a chance to earn the job, but no more of a chance than Hu, Abreu or Martinez, and that is all assuming Nomar begins the season on the DL, something Ned isn't about to concede at this point -- even though, IMHO, it looks like a strong bet.
On another note, I have to say I already like Arizona better, after having been here a shade over 24 hours. I was here for a week with the Rockies back in 1999, but this is my first time back. It's just a totally different feel

I heard Pierre was whining about not starting yesterday. Turns out he's just as selfish as the next player; so much for his "nice guy" rep.

I'm wondering if Ned's interested at all in Jose Castillo, who just got waived by the Marlins.

I like Mark Derosa! Very versitile. Jose Castillo? we already have Ramona Martinez.
