i think norris is 5th starter...estrada will make the bullpen a bit deeper

My plan is definitely to watch Sanchez get an out or two, maybe more if I'm into it, then get some work done and try to time it back for Castro. First couple of weeks trying to watch the fringe roster guys is a downer, I'm better off focusing on the long-term future 'cause there's no psychological pressure (on me, not them

). The last week or two is when I want to see who looks better or worse out of the Drabek/Lopez/9,000 man bullpen competition.

So I figure that's the 7th inning for Castro. 2 each for Sanchez and Estrada, then 1 each for the rest, right? And who knows, maybe it'll be fun and I'll stay for Infante and Lopez, both of whom I find on the higher end of the intriguing bullpen options anyway, just to contradict myself entirely.

So this is basically our opening day lineup.....

2 positions up in the air are probably LF/1B. Interested to see what Pillar brings this year and Smoak's defensive ability has him as the front runner.

Unable to watch it, but I'm guessing that our season is over already? Damn, was hoping we'd make it 'til mid-March.

Lateral Quicks · Post #51 » by **Lateral Quicks** » Tue Mar 3, 2015 6:30 pm

Sanchez no!!!!! Really don't want him to go the bullpen

Cory Burns is our saviour, that's all you need to know so far.

I turned on the TV and the first pitch gets cranked out by Kang. Great omen.

Lateral Quicks · Post #55 » by **Lateral Quicks** » Tue Mar 3, 2015 6:52 pm

Estrada gives up a home run? You don't say... we're gonna see a lot more of that this season.

At least if any Jays get into the HR derby this year Estrada will be the no-brainer choice as their pitcher.

Lateral Quicks · Post #58 » by **Lateral Quicks** » Tue Mar 3, 2015 6:57 pm

Randle's favourite player - Kevin Pillar - flashes the power.

Edit: and Pompey singles.

Pillar trying to come out of camp with a starting role.

Looking out my window I wish I was in Dunedin right now. They all look so comfortable

edit - It's 27C there. That would feel about 100C right now.
