Pirates still have jobs open (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05081/475469.stm)
March 22
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "At the head of the list is Zach Duke, a 21-year-old left-hander who was the organization's minor-league pitcher of the year in 2004. He remains in the running for the fifth starting job after allowing four earned runs in 10 innings in three appearances, including five shutout innings against the Philadelphia Phillies four days ago."
Vogelsong still in starters' mix (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/sports/pirateslive/s_315865.html)
March 22
Pittsburgh Tribune Review: "Ryan Vogelsong worked in relief Monday afternoon, but logged as many innings as a starter. Either way, he pitched well enough to make a case he should be on the Pirates' 25-man roster. "
Corey making his pitch (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/sports/pirateslive/s_315845.html)
March 22
Pittsburgh Tribune Review: "Four trips to Nashville last summer wasn't enough to do the trick. Nor was his removal from the 40-man roster in October. No matter how hard they tried, the Pirates couldn't seem to get rid of Mark Corey last year. "
Bay's injury not healing fast (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/sports/pirateslive/s_315864.html)
March 22
Pittsburgh Tribune Review: "With less than two weeks left until Opening Day, outfielder Jason Bay's extended absence because of bruised bone in his left wrist is starting to become a concern."
Scoring runs hasn't been a problem in spring (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05081/475440.stm)
March 22
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "The Pirates are widely projected to be among the National League's weakest offensive clubs, but there has been little evidence to support that notion this spring."
Stats Geek: Hidden numbers give Pirates hope offensively (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05081/475346.stm)
March 22
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "This deep in spring training, the Pirates' batting statistics are as good as they are meaningless. A few weeks of games against off-and-on competition in tiny ballparks won't tell you much."

March 22
Miami Herald (registration required): "Brad Eldred's dream of playing for the Pirates this season was postponed when he was sent to minor-league camp last week."
Plan is to keep Cabrera in left field, for now (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/marlins/content/sports/epaper/2005/03/22/a5c_marlins_0322.html)
March 22
Palm Beach Post: " Cabrera, 21, had been expected to play left field this year. But until Monday, there was always the possibility the Marlins would move him to right field, put Jeff Conine in left and have Juan Encarnacion play a bench role... Conine could inherit the job if the Marlins trade Encarnacion."
