Henderson Alvarez caps off his spring
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (3/26/2013) Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez made his final spring start Tuesday in a Grapefruit League outing against the Nationals. He allowed four runs -- one earned -- over five innings.
Alvarez surrendered five hits, struck out seven and walked two. His spring ERA is 3.55with 11 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings.

Marlins' rotation a Fantasy nightmare
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (3/26/2013) The Marlins announced their rotation plans Tuesday for the start of the season. The team's rotation will be Ricky Nolasco, Nate Eovaldi, Wade LeBlanc, Henderson Alvarez and Kevin Slowey. We know -- you can hardly temper your excitement.
As we wait for the day Marlins super prospect Jose Fernandez is promoted to the majors, as of now the pickings are slim for Fantasy owners. Nolasco is really the only mixed-league viable starter on Draft Day. I see sleeper potential in pitchers like Eovaldi and LeBlanc, but it's still best to view everyone outside of Nolasco as NL-only Fantasy options at the outset of the season. I can see certain scenarios where some of these arms might come into play in mixed-league drafts, but they have to be pretty deep formats.
