Who Will Start For Opening Day?

[Kinglorious]

If you want true balance from handedness and perhaps quality it could maybe go:

RH Dickey
LH Romero
RH Johnson
LH Buehrle
RH Morrow

[nirvana235]

Dickey won the cy young, has been better than any Jays pitcher the last 3 years, he gets opening day.

Start Josh Thole, sit JPA's *** on the bench!

[Kinglorious]

I don't think that Thole is always going to be catching when Dickey is pitching. By that time, Arencibia will have him and his knuckleball figured out, I hope. JPA is still the #1 catcher, as he should be.

[FlakeyFool]

JP should just focus on the other 4 pitchers and not Dickey. Let thole catch for him and teach that other dude how to catch Dickey if thole goes down.

[ramz.n]

Dickey
Romero
Johnson
Beuhrle
Morrow

would be my line up

Dickey is here for 3 years, and now that TDA is gone JPA might be here longterm. I think the first thing Gibby will want is for Thole and Dickey to work with JP so that he can at least get a feel for the pitch.

If you want to fack with other teams

Dickey
Jj
Mb
Morrow
Rr

[jon32]

i dont give a fack about the pitcher we aquired compared to morrow.....im beyond pumped to see what this guy is gonna do this year.....wont be surprised at all if he puts up the best numbers of the bunch and is in the cy young candidate mix, his **** is just nasty and im thinkin hes gonna break out

[The_Jet11]

If Morrow were ever to stay healthy for a full season, he could be a Cy Young contender. Let's see if he can handle 200 innings just ONCE before we label him our ace.

[jaysnraptors44]

1 good year and Morrow is considered our ace and put above guys like Buerhle and Johnson smh and 1 bad year Romero is now our 5th starter ... C'mon guys

[DeRozan10]

could go anyway. i dont give a ****. happy anyway they go!!!

[Lavy16]

Josh Johnson
R.A Dickey
Brandon Morrow
Mark Burle
Rickey Romero

Heat, knuckle baller and heat...talking about messing hitters up...then lefty, lefty, heat...won't always work that way every series, but why not start off that way

Morrows peripheral numbers have been better than Romero's for awhile, even when Romero was dominating. I would have to look up the numbers for Johnson but with Morrows improved walk rate I wouldn't be surprised if Morrow blows him away as well.

Maybe you could interchange Buerhle with Romero in the rotation and that would be fine but Romero throws a bit harder than Buerhle so most people feel Buerhle would be better suited pitching between our two power pitchers.

You must not know much about Johnson but he was considered one of the best pitchers in the game before his tj surgery. He also got better as the year went on (makes sense that he would be rusty after all that time off) and despite a pretty bad first two months he ended up with very respectable numbers.
