Final player news posting before Draft Day

Pablo Sandoval, c, SF: He started a game at catcher Saturday, meaning if someone wants to start him at catcher for Week 1, they could. He'll serve as a backup to Bengie Molina when he does not start at 3B. By Week 2, Sandoval should be reach the five-game qualification mark for 3B, and it may take a couple of weeks to gain full catcher eligibility. But it could add to his value.

Bronson Arroyo, sp, Cin: Will see hand specialist about his carpal tunnel issue. Likely isn't ready to open season.

Austin Kearns, of, Was: Washington Post reports Kearns is the starter in right field, but likely will lose ABs to Elijah Dukes and Josh Willingham.

Rich Harden, sp, Chi: Harden got hammered yet again, putting his spring ERA at 10.38. Spring stats don't mean much, but the way Harden has thrown makes some worry.

Tom Glavine, sp, Atl: Will open the season on the DL.
