Opening Day 25 man roster

[backwardsk]

As mentioned at Fanfest, they don't need a fifth starter until April 15.  They could end up taking an extra position player until then.

Are they going to use Mancini's service time as a limited bench player?.  Trumbo is now likely to get the vast majority of DH at bats because either Rickard, Vasquez, Smith or a yet to be signed Pagan or Bourn is going to get most of RF starts.  I think they will be showing Mancini for trade or as an injury option whether it is in the spring if he lights it up or at Norfolk. 

I am of the mind that Mancini starts in AAA for this very reason.  Put a R5 guy or someone like Desmond Jennings in his spot.
