The 25 man is now almost set. 8 man pen and Travis at 2B with Pompey & Pillar in the outfield. Drew Hutchison opening day starter.
It's official. Drew Hutchison is the opening day starter. May he have many more to come. Also in the rotation no shocks R.A. Dickey, Daniel Norris, Mark Buehrle and Aaron Sanchez. the exact order isn't given yet.
Still in the pen is Brett Cecil, Marco Estrada, Liam Hendriks, Colt Hynes, Aaron Loup, Todd Redmond, Miguel Castro, Roberto Osuna.
All 3 catchers are still in camp but AA says he doesn't see all 3 being there for opening day - Russell Martin, Dioner Navarro, Josh Thole
edit: Thole to AAA.
1B: Looks to be Justin Smoak
2B: Announced as Devon Travis
3B: Josh Donaldson
SS: Jose Reyes
LF: Kevin Pillar until Michael Saunders recovers
CF: Dalton Pompey
RF: Jose Bautista
DH: Edwin Encarnacion
Backup: Steve Tolleson
That leaves one more backup slot for whoever. Maybe Ryan Goins or a random pickup. edit: Danny Valencia is the favorite at the moment.
Talk is of an 8 man bullpen until Saunders is healthy then a 7 man after that.
