3B - Akinori Iwamura

CF - Elijah Dukes
2B - B.J. Upton
Josh Paul, Jonny Gomes, Greg Norton (15 day DL, to be replaced by Carlos Pena), Brendan Harris.
SP - Scott Kazmir
SP - James Shields
SP - Casey Fossum
SP - Jae Seo
SP - Edwin Jackson
RP - Ruddy Lugo
RP - Shawn Camp
RP - Al Reyes
RP - Gary Glover
RP - Juan Salas
RP - Brian Stokes
RP - Jae Kuk Ryu
60 day DL - Jon Switzer
Harris has a piss weak bat and with the defensive versatility of Upton, Iwamura and Wigginton, I'm really not sure why they bothered with him. Oh well.
Makes for some good talent waiting at triple A.
I wonder if they'll deal Josh Paul at midseason, cos Shawn Riggans is awesome.

Paul's OK. Hit for average if not power, throws out base runners. Nice to hold onto him just as something to deal.
Riggans is the s**t.
Orvella should be the s**t but kinda isn't. But I don't see what Glover's done over him except show the ability to be a long reliever. A long reliever really isn't the need right now. A closer is. But oh well.

Fun fact: I met Gary Glover at FanFest, he was signing with Edwin Jackson before Kazmir came out. I felt bad for him because nobody wanted his signature and they were just waiting for Kaz. I let him sign my jersey.

There isn't one. Not yet. If one of the 7 there doesn't win it, they might scramble to get one, or call up Orvella/McClung. Jackson closed at Durham last year so if starting doesn't go well, maybe he does that and Howell comes up to start.
Realistically, though, it's Al Reyes, Brian Stokes or Juan Salas.
