Frank Thomas won't start during Toronto's first week of
exhibition games because his legs aren't in shape. "I've just
got to get my legs under me because I didn't do any running
during the off season," Thomas said Thursday. Thomas broke his
left ankle in the 2004 and 2005 seasons and was told not to run
during the past offseason. He said the earliest he would start
is March 9.
