Notes
03.21... Hisashi Iwakuma will begin the season in the Mariners' bullpen.
Spin: The Mariners appeared to be leaning that way after Iwakuma tossed 
three shutout innings of relief on Tuesday. The 30-year-old 
right-hander figures to get a look as a starter eventually, but the M's 
will begin the year with Felix Hernandez, Jason Vargas, Hector Noesi, 
Blake Beavan and Kevin Millwood in the rotation.

LOSER:  Fresh off the stunning loss of Joaquin Soria for the year, the 
Hoosiers take a second hit with the demotion of Hisashi Iwakuma to the 
bullpen.  Worse yet is the prospect that even were he to emerge from 
the pen, it might be to displace Noesi, another Daddies starter.

WINNER:  Another wound to a top competitor leaves the Berliners looking 
like the prohibitive favorite for the 2012 Damon.
