Time to play ball as Jon Lieber takes on Griffey and the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon to kick off the season. Lieber is pitching against Joey Hamilton who pitched for Toronto last season. The Reds definitely have the batters to put  runs on the board, but will they have solid pitching to get the job done today?

Antonio Alfonseca and Pitcher Matt Clement are headed to the Cubs in a six player deal. Alfonseca may be the closer the Cubs have been looking for since Flash Gordon went down with a shoulder injury earlier this spring. Clement, 27, has spent the last three seasons in the Majors with San Diego and Florida. In 100 games (98 starts), he has gone 34-39 with a 4.89 ERA.
The Cubs give up Julian Tavarez, Jose Cueto and Dontrelle Willis and catcher Ryan Jorgensen. Cueto, Willis and Jorgensen were all in the Cubs' minor league system
