"I want to be a starter," McDonald said. "Last year, I didn't even know. This year I'm coming in with a different mindset, and starting is all I'm thinking about." McDonald won the job during spring training last season, but couldn't hold on to it, ending up pitching out of the bullpen. However, he's regained his confidence and believes he's the man for the job. "I was shaky, I was questioning myself," he said. "I was thinking about stuff that was going to happen, that might go wrong, if I don't do this or if I don't do that. I've learned to wipe all that out, just pitch one pitch at a time."

The cyst had been pressing on a nerve and causing temporary weakness, however Lyon has been throwing without discomfort since the cyst was drained two weeks ago. Lyon will report as scheduled with pitchers and catchers next week, but he will be about 10 days behind in his throwing program. "It shouldn't be an appreciable amount of time," GM Ed Wade said.

Murphy started last season in left field and had never played first in the major leagues before May 20, when the Mets made the abrupt shift following Carlos Delgado's hip injury. The 25-year-old made 10 errors in 101 games and didn't appear comfortable around the bag. Hernandez, an 11-time Gold Glove first baseman, spent two hours Monday and Tuesday instructing Murphy and Nick Evans at the Mets' training complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla. General manager Omar Minaya had called Hernandez last week asking for his teaching skills. "I have one of the best first basemen of all time that have played the position there. It's my job to get as much information out of him as I can," Murphy said. "I want to be as athletic over there as Keith was. I want to be the guy that, you know, gets the lead runner, that makes an aggressive play and puts his body in a good spot." Hernandez, who previously worked with Todd Zeile and John Olerud, thought Murphy did as well as he could when making the shift with little practice last year. Hernandez intends to speak with manager Jerry Manuel and probably will work with Murphy at times during spring training.

"It's something I've waited a long time for," Wood told MLB.com, "having a chance to come in and win a job." "I want to play every day. I haven't had a chance to do that. That's my goal and will continue to be my goal. To get consistent at-bats is what I've been looking for, and I want to take advantage of this opportunity." In 41 at-bats last season Wood hit .195 with one home run and and three RBI.

"Everything's fine," Shields said. "I'm on schedule. I just don't know if I'm going to get off a mound as soon as everybody else. They don't want me to rush it, but as far as being ready to go when it counts, I have no concerns at all." Patella tendinitis limited him to 17 2/3 innings last year. He went 1-3 with one save and a 6.62 ERA before surgery in June put an end to his season. Shields threw off flat ground in January experienced no pain in the knee. "I'm close to 100 percent, but we're just being careful."

He is a great player who fits our city, team, and payroll remarkably well. We have had, and will continue to have, dialogue with Adrian’s representatives about keeping him in San Diego long-term. It is still early in that process and attempting to draw conclusions in the middle of any negotiation is an inexact science." With that said, team CEO Jeff Moorad said Wednesday that "early signals" are that Gonzalez will be too rich for the Padres to keep.

Tomko was one of Oakland's better pitchers last season over a very short sample size, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. Tomko went 4-1 with a 2.95 ERA and one of the team's two complete games. He was hurt in that complete game, however, where he apparently tore or strained a muscle and the swelling that followed wound up severely pinching a nerve in his arm. Tomko essentially has had to wait until the nerve calms down to resume throwing, which he just did a few weeks ago, though he is not yet throwing off the mound. "It's been very, very slow," Tomko said. "It was a really bad injury. It healed a lot slower than I wanted it to." Tomko is hoping to sign with a team before or possibly during spring training.

The 42-year-old Vizquel signed with the White Sox this offseason. He is a three-time AL All-Star and is considered one of best fielding shortstops of all time. Aparicio was named AL Rookie of the Year as a member of the White Sox in 1956 and the 10-time All-Star played 10 seasons with Chicago. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1984, the same year the team retired his uniform number.

The two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award winner is asking for a record $13 million, while the Giants offered $8 million when the sides exchanged numbers last month. Lincecum is seeking the richest contract ever awarded in arbitration, surpassing the $10 million that Alfonso Soriano (2006) and Francisco J. Rodriguez (2008) got after losing cases and Ryan Howard received after winning in 2008. Lincecum's hearing is scheduled for this month in St. Petersburg, Fla. He plans to attend. "With the two Cy Youngs, it just throws a curveball in the mix," Lincecum said. "People were saying I could ask for pretty much anything."
