Mackins makes the cut, Wilson named backup catcher
25-year old speedster Paul Mackins will finally realize his life-long dream of playing in the big leagues, as he earns the 25th spot on the Opening Day roster with starting rightfielder Antonio Puente for a few weeks still as he recovers from a strained hamstring muscle.
And, as widely expected, Spencer Wilson replaces Jeff Darden as Gold Glove winning Kevin Curtis' backup at the catcher position.
Of the several relievers battling for the last bullpen spot, Dave Duncan proved victorious with a splendid Spring.
