File-THis March 31, 2012 file photo shows San Francisco Giants starter Guillermo Mota throwing to the Cincinnati Reds during the second inning of a spring training baseball game in Scottsdale, Ariz. Mota was suspended for 100 games on Monday May 7, 2012, becoming just the third major league player penalized twice for positive drug tests. The commissioner's office said the 38-year-old right-hander tested positive for Clenbuterol. In November 2006, while with the New York Mets, Mota was suspended for the first 50 games of the next season.

Outfielder Gregor Blanco has been the surprise of spring training, winning a roster spot early in camp. He could end up in a starting role because of Nate Schierholtz's struggles this spring.
