    Jake rogers will be 28 years old before he makes the team on opening day. He’s horrible.

    So is this what the opening day lineup will look like:

    C – Ramos
    1B – Nunez
    2 – Schoop
    3 – Candelario
    SS – Castro
    LF – Grossman
    CF – Jones
    RF – Maraza (maybe Reyes gets opening day start but is mostly 4th OF)

    Could also see them moving Candy to first and playing a combo of Schoop/Goodrum at 2nd and 3rd

    If he does too well Al will send him down so he can be named Callis and Laws’ #1 prospect

    I think he makes it.

    Boyd, Tehran, Skubal, Uranus, and Mize.

    Not that there is much competition ... but I could see them being improved from last year.

    Let’s see

    pistons are at a 45 win pace (162 games)
    Red wings at 58 games
    Lions will probably go 4-12

    You’re probably right. I think Tigers finish something like 62-100

    So mize has 2-3 week audition. If he sucks, he goes to Toledo to make room for Trumbull.

    If he’s good, Uranus or Tehrean move to BP

    Can’t be much worse than Jiminez. Although wasn’t he facing all AA/AAA guys yesterday? Seems like they took their starters out after 5th inning

    Fulmer.

    Honestly Norris would probably be my choice although I think he'll pitch in the 7th and 8th.

    Just to be clear, I have no idea. I just think that's his best way to being a successful major league pitcher without constantly hurting himself.

    Best case scenarios for this season. Am I missing any others?

    • Skubal and Mize prove they can be anchors to rotation for 2022.
    • Manning gets promoted July / August and gets 5-6 starts
    • Torkelson and Greene hit in the minors
    • Avila gets fired
    • Finish in bottom 5 of league
    • Flip Tehran or Uranus for weak hitting middle infielder at deadline
    • Castro continues to hit

    Cabrera hits 3000/500 and decides that's enough and hangs them up?
