Notes:

- No sign of super prospects Javier Baez, Albert Almora, or Kris Bryant but stay on the lookout.

- Travis Wood should be a good test for Rockies hitters as he ranked among the better lefties in the NL last season.

- The Cubs have been hot with the sticks and should give Jorge de la Rosa a nice challenge. Hopefully he responds.
