Thanks,
I likely won't be there, but I'd like to know about Boni's infield defense (passable? good? not happening?), Happ as starter/reliever or AAA possibility if remaining starters stay healthy, and who Jeffress would have to beat to get into the opening day 'pen (a backhanded way to figure out who the bubble guys are for the 7th spot). And maybe whether Stroman is likely to start and at what level when he returns.
And how long before he expects Dickey to win the Nobel for Peace and Chemistry with a single act.

Interesting tidbit about Stroman.. IIRC, there was some talk of him coming up with the team if he wasn't busted late in the season. Now stretching him into a starter will delay his debut. I think it's definitely a route that should be tried first before converting him into a full time reliever.
