Jason Motte, rp, StL: With Chris Perez being sent to minor league camp to get in shape, the Cardinals will go with a bullpen by committee of Motte, Ryan Franklin and Josh Kinney. It could give Motte the opportunity to shine and secure the job full time.
Daniel Murphy, of, NY: The Mets set their opening day lineup and it has Murphy in the 2-hole. A nice spot given that lineup.
Cole Hamels, sp, Phi: Hamels has been ruled out for starting opening night on Sunday. However, he should be set to start on April 10, the Friday of Week 1. Brett Myers moves into position to start the opener.
Claudio Vargas, rp, LA: Once the favorite to claim the No. 5 starter spot, Vargas will open on the DL. James McDonald is now the favorite for that spot.
Lance Berkman, 1b, Hou: Hit off a tee Monday and could return to action Wednesday. Still having problems with bicep tendinitis, but adds there is a 100 percent chance he'll play in another exhibition game this spring, indicating he'll be ready for the opener.
Livan Hernandez, sp, NY: He's the No. 5 starter and will open the season on April 11 (Saturday of Week 1).
Jordan Schafer, of, Atl: Josh Anderson was traded to Detroit, opening a spot for Schafer or Gregor Blanco.
Trevor Hoffman, rp, Mil: Placed on DL retroactive to March 27. He'll be eligible to return after the fourth game of the season.
Jeff Weaver, rp, LA: LA Daily News says he "looks like a lock" to make the Dodgers as a long reliever. He has no fantasy value, but way to go, Jeff!
