Spring training stock report: After week two

Related Topics: Brandon Marsh, Cristian Pache

There has now been a full week of games with many of the bigger names making their debuts and players getting into the swing of things. We’ll see more lineup juggling as Rob Thomson tries different things out in hopes of finding a solid combination to maximize run production.

Stock up: Cristian Pache

There are few battles to win this spring training in Clearwater. Two relief pitching spots? Ok, I’ll spot you those. But the only other spot that players are vying for is in the outfield. The injury to Brandon Marsh made things a bit hazier, but with signs coming out that Marsh might be ready for Opening Day, that means that the battle is likely down to either Jake Cave or Cristian Pache.
