2010 Rotation?

[Rance Mulliniks]

So how bout those Jays? Pile of pitchers in camp this year - who breaks with the team in the starting rotation? The bullpen?

[ensanimal]

Marcum
Romero
Morrow
Rzepcznski
Cecil

Frasor
Gregg
Downs
Carlson
Accardo
Tallet
Camp


A bunch of other options depending on how some injuries turn out.

Who do you guys see coming out of spring training with the closing job? Frasor seems to be the guy a lot of people are pointing too, but you can never tell with Cito. Unless they trade Frasor of course...

[Rance Mulliniks]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cecil start down in the minors and either Eveland or Tallet starting.

I think Cito lets Gregg start the season as the closer, with Frasor/Downs the R/L setup guys (assuming neither is traded).

I see Gregg starting the season as closer because they traded for him. Hopefully it doesn't last long though and Frasor takes the job over.

[Fenris-77]

Gregg huh. Somehow I'm just not excited. C'est la vie.

Me neither. I'd much rather have Frasor in there. He could either build up some value to be able to trade him down the line, or close out games on a surprising AL East winning team.

[Fenris-77]

I'd prefer Frasor too, and be quite happy with either of those results.

If a midseason deal with a team that needs a decent closer can see the Jays net a good prospect in return for him I'd be fine with that.

I see the Jays actually going with a committee-esque closer job. Of course, Gregg will get the first chunk, but I can also see Cito just kinda going with the hot hand and kinda playing match-ups more than one guy. Though Gregg, Frasor and Downs are the only three worth noting. Accardo and Carlson might poach some if the pens been overworked

Pitching wise, it's going to be much like last year in terms of a revolving door. They'll probably start with Marcum, Romero, Rzepcynski, Tallet and Morrow if he's healthy, but you'll probably end up seeing Cecil, Eveland, Mills, Ray, Purcey....probably even McGowan and Litsch at some point. The Jays haven't exactly been the healthiest team the past few seasons. I figure the only restriction will be Kyle Drabek. They'll do their best to keep him in the minors this season, so they don't rush him and ruin him. Since he is basically what they sold Halladay for.
