Phillies' Michael Saunders: Not hitting well this spring

Saunders is hitting .200/.308/.289 with a home run in 45 at-bats this spring.

Analysis:

Spring stats do not matter for Saunders, who is locked in as the Phillies' starting right fielder, but it would be nice to see him start producing a bit more with the regular season around the corner. Saunders hit fifth Thursday in what was a likely preview of the lineup manager Pete Mackanin will typically roll out against right-handed pitchers this season.
