Regardless what order you go, someone may get thier nose out of joint, but suck it up. We need all 5 to produce regardless what # you are?

So... Dickey, Morrow/Johnson, Romero, Johnson/Morrow, Buehrle . Then I guess you could switch Romero with Buehrle. Its tough. Best to leave it up to the manager.
I don't see anybody but the reigning NL CY winner as the opening day starter. Morrow or Johnson next, but I think Johnson, if the Jays see him as their future 2 with an extension, then Buerhle, Morrow, and Romero I think they'll keep Ricky in the 5 hole, less pressure, better odds of success facing other teams number 5's to start the season, and rebuild his confidence.
