All right, let's have a contest. A prediction contest! That's the best kind.

Your job is to predict the Jays starting rotation this year. List all the pitchers you think will start games in a Toronto uniform during the 2010 regular season, with the number of starts they make. Ideally your total predicted number of starts would add up to 162.

Here's my entry:

Romero 26
Marcum 24
Rzepczynski 21
Tallet 4
Eveland 24
Morrow 15
Purcey 12
Litsch 3
Cecil 12
Mills 5
Hill 2
Perez 5
Stewart 1
someone not in the organization as of Opening Day 8

The scoring will work this way. Every start you list correctly gives you a point. So if you predict that Dustin McGowan makes 10 starts, and he really makes 15 starts, you get 10 points. If you predict that he makes 20 starts and he really makes 15 starts, you get 15 points. If you get everything right, you get 162 points.

Tiebreaker: if two or more people get the same number of points, the tie will go to the one who identified the pitcher(s) who made the most starts for the Jays in 2010. Tiebreakerbreaker: how many starts did he make. Tiebreakerbreakerbreaker: who made the second most starts. And so on.

Entries are due before gametime Opening Day. We'll count 'em all up in October. (Postseason, preseason and All-Star Game starts won't count toward this contest.)

Ready? Go!
