Orioles Payton could start season on disabled list
Orioles outfielder Jay Payton may open the season on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring after injuring it in a spring game against Minnesota. He hopes to return in a week or two, but a DL stint is a realistic possibility and Corey Patterson would start in center if opening day arrives without Payton.

Guzman Aims to Erase .219 Mark With Nats In Spring
Washington shortstop Cristian Guzman pushes to rebound from a .219 batting average as spring numbers rise in Florida. He has hit .444 with a homer and nine RBIs in 36 at bats, and the Nationals plan to bat him second hoping to channel the 2001 .302 All-Star form while addressing past shoulder surgery and a shortened 2006 season. Coach Mitchell Page and manager Manny Acta praise his improved stance and focus as teammates note his renewed confidence and work ethic.
