Andrew Lambo (1B, PIT) has getting a chance to prove himself this spring, as he's started 11 of the first 14 games at first base, and his 26 plate appearances rank second on the team.

The door appears to be open for Lambo, but some production would be nice if he wants to grab the strong side of a first base platoon.
