Who will be among the 26 to break camp on the opening day roster and what will it look like?

Looking at the roster as currently constructed, the lineup looks potent against both right handed and left handed pitchers.

RHP

1 - 3B - E. Sogard (L) *batted 1st in 80 starts with a BA .292 OBP .350 SLG .458 OPS .807 (2019)

2 - CF - L. Cain (R)

3 - LF - C. Yelich (L)

4 - 2B - K. Hiura (R)

5 - C - O. Narvaez (L) *batted 5th most last year, also slashed the following against RHP: BA .289 OBP .346 SLG .490 OPS .836

6 - RF - A. Garcia (R)

7 - 1B - J. Smoak (S)

8 - SS - O. Arcia (R)

BN R. Braun / B. Holt / J. Gyorko / M. Pina / B. Gamel

**recoverying from injury - L. Urias and R. Healy

LHP

1 - CF - L. Cain (R)

2 - LF - C. Yelich (L)

3 - RF - A. Garcia (R)

4 - 2B - K. Hiura (R).319 .395 .569 .965

5 - 1B - R. Braun (R)

6 - C - M. Pina (R) *slashed the following against LHP: BA .319 OBP .395 SLG .569 OPS .965 (2019)

7 - 3B - J. Gyorko (R) *slashed the following against LHP: BA .309 OBP .393 SLG .526 OPS .919 (2018, most recent healthy year)

8 - SS - O. Arcia (R)

BN E. Sogard / B. Holt / J. Smoak / O. Narvaez / B. Gamel

**recoverying from injury - L. Urias and R. Healy

Both of these projected lineups look really deep to me to start the year. How do you see the starting lineups look to begin the year when starting against RHP and LHP on most nights to start the year?

Out-getters

SP B. Woodruff (R)

SP E. Lauer (L)

SP A. Houser (R)

SP B. Anderson (L)

SP J. Lindblom (R) *I don't believe a 5th starter is needed until April 14th, so that would give Lindblom time to get some innings out of the BP before his first start back in the MLB

CL J. Hader (L)

RP F. Peralta (R)

RP B. Suter (L)

RP D. Phelps (R)

RP A. Cladio (L)

RP R. Black (R)

RP J.P. Feyereisen (R) *best guess to win one of the final two BP spots out of spring (can pitch multiple innings)

RP E. Yardley (R) *best guess to win one of the final two BP spots out of spring (can pitch multiple innings)

*** I believe B. Wahl (R) and D. Williams (R) also have a good chance to earn one of the final spots as well, beyond those two, odds of making the opening day roster dwindle IMO. Hoping C. Burnes gets regular innings as a starter in AAA to begin the year, otherwise I would have included him too.

How do you see the out-getters breaking camp to start the year?
