From the San Diego Union Tribune:

Padres C Michael Barrett, bothered by a sprained right elbow ligament, threw before the game and could go on a rehab assignment soon. ...

Former Cubs' pitcher Mark Prior, now with the Padres, had a setback in his rehab from shoulder surgery in April 2007. When he felt discomfort in his shoulder at extended spring training in Arizona, he was sent back to San Diego for an MRI, manager Bud Black said. Prior might visit Dr. James Andrews, who performed the surgery, to be checked out.

Michael Barrett...

... is still waiting for Matt Holliday to touch the plate.

True

But he’ll probably throw behind the runner.

There's a short article on Barrett...

...in today’s Sun-Times. He says some nice things. I’m pretty much ambivalent about the guy at this point.

Nanika Ga Okoru!

Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.

As I said about Barrett last year...

... when I interviewed him, he seems like a standup guy who really understands how lucky he is to be a major league player and make all this money. I think he would have been a better player if he had been installed as a third baseman or left fielder somewhere and just stayed there. He never really was a good catcher, but he could hit.
