Clearwater Coverage

It's Tuesday and the Phillies are fully engaged in Spring Training at Bright House Networks Field. Jayson Werth -- the former prized prospect of the Dodgers organization before a wrist injury changed it all -- showed up positive, and HEALTHY to Phillies camp yesterday.

Meanwhile, 30-year-old Abraham Nunez is determined to keep the starting job at third base after the Phillies went out and signed free agent Wes Helms. Nunez is so determined that he told the Daily News, "You're going to see a difference. You'll see. You'll see."

In other Phillies notes, Jimmy Rollins will be the lead-off hitter. Period. Everyone is in camp except Danny Sandoval, who is having immigration problems. And Todd Zolecki, the Phillies beat writer for the Inquirer, thinks Freddy Garcia will the team's starting pitcher on Opening Day.
