Piniella also said Jason Marquis would be the team’s fifth starter while Jon Lieber would hold down the role of long reliever.
Lesson learned: publicly complaining about losing your role will give you a better shot of keeping it. Please make a trade already.
In other news we already guessed, The Riot’s leading off, Soriano’s batting second, and on base is completely optional. DeRosa will be critical, because he’ll be getting tons of RBI chances batting sixth.
Scott Eyre hiding an injury during Spring Training means he’s going to be hid on the DL to start the season and one of Marshall or Pignatiello starts the season on the team.
I don’t get Paul Sullivan’s math here, or I’ve totally missed on a story:
The last two bench spots remain open, with Alex Cintron, Mike Fontenot and Ronny Cedeno competing for two jobs.
Unless they’re going to an 11 man rotation – which would be nice but a story in itself – I only see one bench spot for those three guys. Is there a Hart/Wuertz battle for a spot in the bullpen now?
