MESA, Ariz. -- Once upon a time, Chris Young and Tyson Ross were All-Stars in San Diego, anchors in the Padres' rotation across multiple seasons.
That time has come and gone. On Saturday, Ross took the hill for two innings in an 8-3 Cactus League defeat against Oakland. Young followed with two innings of his own. Both looked sharp, for the most part. But both have work to do this spring if they're to earn a place in the Opening Day rotation.
The roster math isn't favorable for either of them.
