Camp day Sunday for minors
Reporting to camp and there are intrasquad games today.
The Class A game is drawing interest because of a 16-year-old's tryout. Wagner Mateo was with the Cardinals, but St. Louis voided his $3.1 million contract because of a pre-existing condition.
Mateo, a Dominican outfielder, has drawn about 10 scouts.
The major-league team hosts the Pirates today, too.

Talbot going north with Tribe
Listening to the Indians-Diamondbacks game while driving south.
The Cleveland crew just said that former Biscuits pitcher Mitch Talbot will be on the Tribe's Opening Day roster.
He was out of minor-league options anyway and couldn't go to the minors without clearing waivers. Talbot will be the fourth starter.

Astros drop Wright to minors
Pitcher Wesley Wright, native Montgomery Countian and Goshen High grad, has been optioned to the minor leagues by the Houston Astros.
Montgomery roster guesses
Making the long drive Saturday -- south on U.S. 231, take a left on I-10, take a right on I-75, exit at Port Charlotte -- for spring training.
In my annual tradition of showing how little I know, here are my roster guesses for the Biscuits. These are obviously before I know anything about what's happened in camp. We started the blog with one of these way back when.
Pitchers -- Alex Torres, Darin Downs, Alex Cobb, David Newmann, Jake McGee, Matt Gorgen, Richard De Los Santos
Catchers -- Jose Lobaton, Nevin Ashley
Infielders -- Matt Sweeney, Shawn O'Malley, Cody Cipriano, Matt Fields
Outfielder -- Emeel Salem
If Lobaton is a surprise, I pick him because the Rays won't want two 40-man catchers splitting time at Triple-A Durham. They'd prefer both seeing regular playing time. Also, before someone points out you need three outfielders to play a game, I don't have the guts to pick a second at this time.
Opening night starting pitcher? I'll go with the Reno Rabbit, McGee. (Yes, I just made up that nickname.)
As far as the trip, I'll definitely hide my press credentials when rolling through Gainesville. I hear they don't like it there when you ask questions and accurately report what's said.
