Who Will Start For Opening Day?

[bomber0104]

morrow is not a #4 starter

I think people forget how good Morrow was last year because of his unfortunate injury

I have much higher hopes for him this year than i do for JJ

[rockbottom2010]

strasburg is bloody amazing thats why haha

I hear what you're saying, I just need to see it more from Morrow.

morrow would have been an all-star last season...however he was injured

[rockbottom2010]

definitely sportsnet will start broadcasting games in dunedin

[Sanyo]

morrow is not a #4 starter

Yeah I know but at this point he has to be. They also want to re-sign Johnson and they arent going to do that by tell him he's a #4.

You cant have three righties, two lefties either.

So someone gets screwed....and because Morrow is host, he'll take the hit and welcome the other three guys...

John Gibbons have a tough decision to make...

[Nica]

Not Romero or Buerhle I would think.

I think we would need to see how they all pitch in Spring Training before makIng the final decision.

Johann you're killing with the Jenneke signature. I re-read your post three times before I digested any of the words.

It might be a good idea to start Romero. Not that he deserves it but if all his physical issues-bone chips- are cleared than a show of faith might work wonders on his confidence. The Jays need him back to his pre 2012 form.

Seeing this as our rotation brings a small tear to my eye. Wow... Never imagined I'd see such a brilliant staff in toronto ever again.

Oh and you start dickey imo.
Dickey
Morrow
Buehrle
johnson
Romero

Our rotation is pretty balanced, so I would set up the rotation based on the first weeks schedule. Games 4, 5 and 6 are against Boston and I would prefer to have at least 2 righties in that series against Napoli and Gomes who both are great against lefties and struggle a bit vs righties. I know it's nitpicky, but once the first week is gone it's just go out every 5 days. I would go with:
Dickey
Johnson
Buehrle
Morrow
Romero

[a_roid_3333]

Morrow
Buehrle
Johnson
Romero
Dickey

last years Cy Young winner as our #5..filthyy

[a_roid_3333]

after looking at the schedule, I'd swap around Romero and Dickey, so it would be:

Morrow
Buehrle
Johnson
Dickey
Romero

[MikeG]

I like the thought of Morrow and Dickey going back to back because you have a super hard thrower one day followed by a soft thrower the next. Keeps teams off balance

[saskjaysfan]

I also like the rotation shaping up like this:

Dickey
Morrow
Buehrle
Johnson
Romero

[dtmagnet]

Dickey is the elder statesman and reigning Cy Young winner, he's the anchor of this staff so of course he should be starting on opening day.

[KidDraco]

AA called Dickey his number one starter on Prime Time Sports.

[KidDraco]

I could see

Dickey
Johnson
Buehrle
Morrow
Romero
