My fear is that TBD will be replaced with Roark's face soon.

TBD has better stats than Roark, so you're right.

Why not give Anthony Kay a start? Just cut Roark

Anyone want to take one for the team and pitch the opener tonight? Odds are a few on this board would do better than Roark...
Where is Anthony Kay?
Hopefully Pearson is ready to go soon.

At this point, I'd rather have Tommy Milone start than Roark. But who knows? Could even be a guy like Chatwood for a few innings.
But most likely, get ready for the old diesel.

my change up is about 40MPH and my fastball is at 50MPH. that 10 MPH difference should throw batters off right?

I don't think that'll cut it. To be really elite, you want to have a differential of 15-20mph. So just dial that change down to 35MPH and you should be OK.

Roark is still healthy though, which is the important thing.

The ol' diesel never breaks down, it just generates an excessive amount of pollution.

Defense was always going to be this team's primary issue even with Springer and Semien.
