Friday's first pitch

Hey a day without steroid news. Remember when Spring Training was like that all the time?

• Brian Roberts says his new contract with Baltimore shows he has faith in the Orioles' future.


• Is Ocho Cinco playing for the Washington Nationals? No, that's the ever generous Lastings Milledge.


• The Washington Times' Thom Loverro looks at what's right with Adam Dunn.


• The Philadelphia Phillies are upbeat about Chase Utley's return.
• It's a good thing Ken Griffey Jr. signed with the Seattle Mariners because Jim Caple says he was about to go all "Say anything" on The Kid.


• It looks like Colorado Rockies pitcher Jeff Francis won't be pitching in 2009. Francis was 17-9 with a 4.22 ERA in 2007.


• The Boston Globe's Bob Ryan says the Red Sox shouldn't move their spring training facility.
• The cost of a 300 game winner; $1 million.
• Prince Fielder has dropped some weight, and the Milwaukee Brewers are happy.
