Maybe I was the only one who was wondering, but just in case anyone else was, Pete A. has the lowdown on why J. Brent Cox was left off the spring training roster, straight from the desk of Mark Newman.

Cox is not on the spring training roster because he has a broken bone in his right hand.

”(He’ll be) ready to throw a bit late,” Newman reports.

Whew - I thought this was going to be a elbow injury or something along the Melancon lines.
