Pitchers: RHP Chris Archer tosses against LHP JA Happ. Nick Burdi, Jesus Liranzo, Geoff Hartlieb and Alex McRae will also toe the slab.

Yesterday's Game: Clay Holmes, Keone Kela and Tyler Lyons gave up 10 runs and five homers; 'nuff said as the Bucs fell 10-1 to the Twins. Jason Martin tripled and scored on a sac fly as the Pirates followed a three-hit day against the Jays with a four-hit afternoon against Minnesota.

Notes:
  • Corey D twisted his ankle after he got caught in some mud while sliding into second, and had to leave the game. The seriousness of the injury is TBD, although Dickerson said it's nothing worse than a day-to-day twinge. 
  • Keone spent a few minutes with the beat gang after the game - so much for silence is golden - and said not to worry; it's the spring. KK added that his arm is fresh (he thought that the September shutdown did him good) and he's working on a change up. 
  • Jameson Taillon has been doing back lot work; he's slated to make his first start on the 17th against Boston, which gives him just two live action outings until Opening Day.
  • Anna Kayser of the Indy Indians is already looking at the Tribe's outfield competition. There's a whole bunch of good OF's in camp who gotta move down when the roster's trimmed.
