Josh Willingham, LF, Florida Marlins

Saturday 2/9, 3:40 PM CT

Josh Willingham has a clean bill of health, as he enters spring training, according to MLB.com. "Hammer [Willingham] is ready to go," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I spoke with him several times this winter, and he says he is good to go. We may have to give him a couple of days here and there, just so he can hold up the whole year." Willingham missed the final few weeks of last season with a herniated disc in his back. When he does rest, recent signee Luis Gonzalez will start in left field.

Craig Wilson, OF, Pittsburgh Pirates

Saturday 2/9, 3:04 PM CT

Craig Wilson has agreed to sign a minor league contract with the Reds, according to the AP. Wilson, who hit just .172 in 58 at-bats for the Braves last season, will try to earn a roster spot in spring training.

Noah Lowry, P, San Francisco Giants

Saturday 2/9, 2:06 PM CT

Giants officials have stated that Noah Lowry is expected to arrive this spring without any limitations, according to the San Jose Mercury News. Several teams are expected to keep an eye on Lowry this spring to see if he's over last year's elbow strain. If he is, he could well be dealt for a position player. In particular, the Giants are interested in Joe Crede.

Barry Zito, P, San Francisco Giants

Saturday 2/9, 8:29 AM CT

Barry Zito might not be the Giants' opening day starter this spring, according to the San Jose Mercury News. "I'll get with (pitching coach) Dave Righetti and we'll have that done pretty soon," manager Bruce Bochy said. "I'll answer that in Arizona." Zito is entering the second year of his monster $126 million contract after going 11-13 with a 4.53 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in his first season.

Tim Lincecum, P, San Francisco Giants

Saturday 2/9, 8:23 AM CT

Tim Lincecum said he plans to throw his slider more often this spring with the hopes of establishing it along with his hard fastball, lollipop curve and changeup, according to the Contra Costa Times. "I plan to be a four-pitch starter," he said. "I'd love for it to be a pitch I can throw for strikes, but it's looking like a strikeout pitch. The more I throw it, the more comfortable it feels." Lincecum added that he was really happy to remain with the Giants after he was nearly traded to Toronto in December. The young hurler struck out 150 batters in 146 IP, while posting a 3.94 ERA and 1.28 WHIP last season.
