Duaner Sanchez is scheduled to pitch in an intrasquad game today, a welcome sight since his July 2006 taxi accident.

Wille Randolph on MSGnetwork.com expressed his interest.

“I’m just curious in general,” manager Willie Randolph said Sunday. “You haven’t seen the guy pitch in a year and a half. Throwing on the side is one thing, but he’s looking good.”

“The guy was one of the better setup guys in the game just a few years ago and you know obviously if he bounces back and gets anywhere close or even better than that, that’s going to help us out tremendously in our bullpen,” Randolph said.

Its beginning to look like Sanchez, El Duque and Mike Pelfrey will be the early Spring stories. All eyes will be on Johan on Friday, but for now everyones going to be curious to see what Duaner has, and if El Duque can keep himself out of the trainers room long enough to get his groove back.
