Kelly Johnson, Atl; Brandon Phillips Cin; Dan Uggla, Fla; Kaz Matsui, Hou; Orlando Hudson, LA; Rickie Weeks, Mil; Luis Castillo, NY; Freddy Sanchez, Pit; David Eckstein, SD.
SOME QUESTIONS
Chase Utley, Phi: Utley had offseason hip surgery that originally was thought to keep him out until possibly June. But Utley is already taking BP and expects to be ready for opening day.
BATTLING FOR JOBS
Mike Fontenot vs. Aaron Miles, Chi: Fontenot looked ready to inherit this job, but veteran Miles was brought into push youngster.
Clint Barmes vs. Jeff Baker, Col: Barmes is the favorite, but Baker could see playing time.
Brendan Ryan vs. Skip Schumaker: When Adam Kennedy was released, Ryan figured to get the job. But the Cards are trying to move OF Schumaker to 2B, which certainly would boost his fantasy value.
Kevin Frandsen, Emmanuel Burriss, Eugenio Velez vs. Juan Uribe: It's a second base free-for-all in Frisco.
Ronnie Belliard vs. Anderson Hernandez: Hernandez was thought to have the inside track, but veteran Belliard is going to battle for job.
