In what could be one of the more interesting non-position battles, Mike Maroth will most likely be battling himself for the fifth spot in the rotation. It’s his job to lose, but it’ll be interesting to see how a rough spring by Maroth combined with a good spring by someone like Wil Ledezma will start bringing out the doubters. Regardless, Maroth says he feels great and he’s ready to pitch. It looks like he’s scheduled to pitch on Thursday, which is a game that’ll be on the radio so if you can get to one (or a feed), I’m sure it’ll be interesting to see how he’s doing.
