Who are these guys?

spring training preview

* Has struggled to stay healthy and throw strikes. Sound familiar?

Jim Miller (R)

* Last year: 0-2, 1.17

* Becoming Triple-A Norfolk's closer probably a more likely scenario.

Wilfrido Perez (L)

* Last year: 0-0, 2.31 in Double-A

* Nice numbers last year, but making the jump is little too much to expect.

Jamie Walker (L)

* Last year: 1-3, 6.87

* Front-runner to be situational lefty assuming he's back to the Walker of old.

Others

* Right-handers: Scott Chiasson, Fredy Deza, Jim Hoey, Ryan Keefer, Kam Mickolio, Andy Mitchell, Ross Wolf

* Left-hander: Alberto Castillo

* Also candidate to start
