Adma's notes column discusses the intrasquad game and the fact Ned says he already knows the Opening Day roster.
Heck, I know about 90% of it, and I'm not even the manager.:)
I'd say 10 pitchers have spots locked up, barring injury of course, and if Carlos V is going to be used as a long reliever, that's 11. As far as position players, I only see one spot open, assuming an OF is dealt, and if no one is picked up, Vinny Rottino would seem to have the edge, as he is versatile and scrappy.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I don't
believe in paying a no hit/good field SS $7 million per year (Jack Wilson, I'm talking about you). I don't think
it's a good idea to "play for a run" early in the game. Build up your
minor league system, and watch success follow.
