Time to play the guessing game.

Lets take a look at what we have left now and see if we can guess the pitching staff. I'm assuming we will have a 12-man pitching staff. This is what I think it will be, barring a Brian Roberts trade:

SP - Jeremy Guthrie
SP - Adam Loewen
SP - Daniel Cabrera
SP - Steve Trachsel (I REALLY hope he is out of the rotation by June 1 and I REALLY REALLY hope he doesn't get the opening day nod. Jeremy is having a far better spring and deserves it.)
SP - Brian Burress (Yes, I predict he beats Albers)

Chad Bradford
Jamie Walker
George Sherrill
Dennis Sarfate (Has to. He is out of MiL options)
Greg Aquino (No MiL options either.)
Matt Albers (I don't think he stays long.)
Drum roll please....tdtdtdtdtdtdtdtdtd...
Randor Bierd. Somehow you knew that was coming didn't you?

This looks to be it if we don't trade Brian Roberts before opening day. The good lord only knows what would happen then. It's hard NOT to get excited about the bullpen this year. I just have that gut feeling that I haven't had since 97.

Let's play the guessing game. What do you guys think?

not sure about the pitching staff but I dont think that Roberts is leaving. Also what is up with the screen in the outfield I see that they are replacing it, is that just the screen or the whole thing that includes the birds and the clock ?

I think Roberts goes. I sure hope not, but I think he does before OD. If not he will be gone by July.

I know they are installing a state of the art hi-def screen.. Don't think they would get rid of the birds and the clock though. I will look into it. Thanks for bringing that up because I'm interested in it too.
