Peter Bourjos LF Heyward gets another chance to show off what he can do at the leadoff position this spring. "It could be [an audition] in his mind, but I'm here to play whenever or wherever," Heyward said Saturday to the media. "We're all aware [Maddon] can be different any time. Wherever we're asked to go that day, we have to be ready." Veteran Jon Lester will take the mound for the North Siders and will probably only pitch one or two innings max.
