GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- If you're here for the intrasquad game on Thursday, you'll get to see Aroldis Chapman throw to hitters. Should be interesting.

Also throwing in Thursday's intrasquad will be Aaron Harang, Homer Bailey, Enerio Del Rosario, Jordan Smith, Logan Ondrusek, Alexander Smit, Philippe Valiquette, Pedro Viola and Aroldis Chapman

For Friday's game, Mike Lincoln wil start, followed by Matt Maloney, Justin Lehr, Carlos Fisher, Sam LeCure and Jon Adkins.

Baker said Lincoln looked good yesterday.

He also liked what he saw from Bill Bray. "He's doing good. He had a nice pen yesterday, it's coming together. He's trying to build his arm up and not have any set-backs or relapses or anything."

Todd Frazier will play several positions this spring. "He's an interesting guy, he can play all over and he has a real good bat. Hopefully at some point in time we'll settle on a position for him, a steady position. There's some areas there, you've got Valaika coming at second, Cozart at short, Francisco at third. You've got young guys like Heisey and Dorn coming at the corner outfield. We've got Alonso coming at first base. There's somebody coming at every position, we're trying him at every position in case we use his value in that way."

He said Alonso has played some left and was working there. Will have more on that later. Talked to Alonso, he said he understands the talk, but wants to be a Red. He doesn't want to be traded and he'll play wherever he needs to play to get on the field.
