81. Julian Tavarez, the setup man last year and the major league leader in appearances, is a candidate for the fifth starting spot. 82. Lake Dawson has a tentative claim to the other starting spot. 83. Kevin Lepage made the race, but he lost nine starting spots because of an oversight. 84. Left-hander Joel Adamson, making a bid for a starting spot, gave up a hit and struck out three in two innings for the Purple team. 85. Leadoff hitter Chuck Knoblauch lost his starting spot to Shane Spencer. 86. Krupp had earned a starting spot in NHL All-Star balloting. 87. Larry has persevered, though, and as training camp winds down, he appears to have locked up a starting spot at defensive end. 88. Mathis sat on the bench, banished from a starting spot by a continued lack of fitness. 89. Moherman, who began the season fighting for the starting spot, could end up at Division I-AA Northern Arizona. 90. Maxwell, who lost his starting spot when Drexler was acquired, was in another funk. |
