Kazmir Says Shoulder Is Fine

Scott Kazmir's shoulder will be one of the biggest concerns for the Devil Rays this season.

"Not at all," he said. "I don't even see that as a question."

Sidelined the final six weeks of the 2006 season for what he and the Rays insisted was just a precaution over slight discomfort - "Something so minor," he said - Kazmir has been working out hard three times a week since mid October and throwing regularly with no pain.

Huff Agrees To Deal With Baltimore

Aubrey Huff has reached a preliminary agreement on a three-year, $20 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles, who hope the versatile free agent can add punch to a lineup that ranked 11th in the AL in home runs last season.

The agreement was secured over the weekend, according to a source who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Orioles have not yet announced the deal. The contract will be finalized if Huff passes a physical, which will likely be administered this week in Baltimore.
