Lima keeps head after getting cut April 1 Newark Star-Ledger (registration required): "Lima, who has 72 hours to decide whether to report to Norfolk, said Randolph and Minaya told him that he didn't make the team because the Mets had decided not to take 12 pitchers north. " Some decisions, more to come for Rays April 1 St. Petersburg Times: "It's possible - though unlikely - that could change if the Rays decide to keep Jackson and Waechter and move one to the bullpen, or if they are able to sign or trade for an experienced reliever, such as the Mets' Heath Bell." Quiet, so far April 1 Cleveland Plain Dealer (scroll down) (registration required): "If Phillips isn't traded today, he will be designated for assignment to create a roster spot... Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Washington and Colorado have shown interest. St. Louis and the Mets are not happy with their second base situations." Pedro will answer bell Thursday April 1 Newsday: "Expect Pedro Martinez to be on the mound Thursday for his scheduled start against the Nationals at Shea Stadium. Just don't be too surprised if he doesn't resemble the three-time Cy Young Award winner everyone is accustomed to seeing."
