A cool column… on ESPN by Jayson Stark, observing that Spring Training sucks this year.

So I made a list of some of the hitters who have been spotted occupying the middle of the order just this week:
CLEANUP HITTERS — Jake Fox (Cubs), Jesus Guzman (Giants), Geoff Blum (Astros),Ramon Castro (Mets), Mike Hessman (Tigers) and Nick Evans (Mets).
NO. 3 HITTERS — Rob Mackowiak (Mets), Micah Hoffpauir (Cubs), Jose Valentin (Mets),Shane Costa (Royals) and Wes Helms (Marlins).
No disrespect to any of those fellows, obviously. But they’re not going to be confused with David Wright or Miguel Cabrera, either.
