Bloomquist feeling good heading into spring
Willie Bloomquist - SS - Arizona Diamondbacks
Feb. 14, 2013 - 9:55 PM ET

Willie Bloomquist (back) will have no limitations in spring training.

Bloomquist was limited to 16 games after the All-Star break last season due to back injury, but he's optimistic the issue is behind him after he spent the offseason working with a "stretching guru" and the Diamondbacks' trainers and strength coaches. The 35-year old hit .302 with a .724 OPS in 338 plate appearances last year and is expected to serve in a utility infielder role in 2013.
