Jim Tracy says Ian Snell is pitching his way into the rotation.

Jeff Manto says when Brad Eldred's bat managed to make contact with the ball, the ball goes far.

Meanwhile, Rob Rossi is reporting that the Pirates are shopping Craig Wilson and are hoping for Matt Clement in return. While I do believe that DL is shopping Craiggers, Clement is an incredibly unlikely return for him. For starters, Clement's been lights out this spring. Secondly, David Wells just called Francona an idiot, meaning it's a bit unlikely he'll do much pitching for the Sox this year, and that Clement's price will accordingly rise. If we're getting anything in return for Craig Wilson before the season, it's probably someone in the Josh Fogg/Mark Redman mold. The only way we get more is by him playing well this year and proving that he's past the two hand injuries he suffered last year.
