 | | From spring offensive statistics, it was hard to separate Izturis, who was obtained from Toronto in a winter trade, and Cora, who prompted that trade by hitting.217 with no stolen bases last year. |
 | | Izturis is hitting.293 with a.317 on-base percentage, 10 runs, four extra-base hits, five RBIs, two walks, five strikeouts and two steals in three attempts. |
 | | Tracy said he is "tinkering" with the idea of batting Izturis leadoff, as he has done three times this spring, but most likely that would be against left-handed pitching when Marquis Grissom would play center field. |
