Joe Saunders update

[Dark Helmet]

That's no guarantee. If he shows he's healthy and pitches well, Jurrjens has just as much a shot as anyone. Personally, I think Saunders winds up in Seattle. He lives in AZ and they have ST there. I don't think the Orioles are that interested in Saunders, unless it's at their price. With the depth DD thinks he has, I think that price is pretty low, and one that Seattle, SD, or the Mariners can beat.

I could see the starting five to start the year being..

1. Hammel

2. Chen

3. Gonzalez

4. Tillman

5. Jurrjens

By the end I could see Bundy and Gausman replacing any of the guys not named Hammel/Chen, barring Hammel and Chen stay healthy.

Edit: That should be Seattle, SD, and the Twins.

And Lyon is a reliever. Not a starter. The Mets rotation is full anyway with the addition of Marcum.

What do I know

, and hasn't tossed more than 140 innings in his entire professional career.

Well, he did throw 220 innings last year between winter ball, the minors and majors.
