Rays Opening Day Roster Projection With the recent additions of Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon, let’s take a look at what the opening day roster would look like if the season started today… 最近在 Manny Ramirez 和 Johnny Damon 加入球隊之後，假如今天就是賽季開幕日， 讓我們看看會25人名單會是如何。 Projected 2011 Rays 25-Man Roster vs RHP vs LHP C John Jaso Kelly Shoppach 1B Dan Johnson Johnny Damon 2B Elliot Johnson Sean Rodriguez 3B Evan Longoria Evan Longoria SS Reid Brignac Reid Brignac LF Johnny Damon Justin Ruggiano CF B.J.

Howell) Position Secure Leading Candidate to be starter(roster spot secure) Leading Candidate for roster spot A few notes on the 25-man roster projection… 1. LINEUP: Elliot Johnson, Reid Brignac and Sean Rodriguez will share middle infield duties. The biggest question now is determining who will play first base. Johnny Damon, Ben Zobrist and Dan Johnson could all see time there. And who gets the bulk of the time could be dependent on whether Joe Maddon prefers Matt Joyce or Dan Johnson in the lineup more often. Elliot Johnson、Reid Brignac 和 Sean Rodriguez 會共同分擔2B-SS的守備工作， 現在重要課題在於決定誰要站1B，Johnny Damon、Ben Zobrist 和 Dan Johnson 應該 可以在整個賽季都看到他們防守這個位置。那誰又會在打線佔大部分時間取決於西瓜 喜愛程度，Matt Joyce 或是 Dan Johnson 可以在打線名單很頻繁的出現。 2. BENCH: The final spot may come down to Sam Fuld and Justin Ruggiano both of whom are out of minor league options. With left-handed hitting outfielders Johnny Damon and Matt Joyce already on board, Ruggiano seems like the better fit, even if Fuld is the better talent. 最後一個替補名單要在 Sam Fuld 和 Justin Ruggiano 之間決定，因為他們都已經 沒有options可以使用，左打OF的 Johnny Damon 和 Matt Joyce 已在先發名單上， Ruggiano 好像更適合，即使 Fuld 是一位很好的選手。 3. ROTATION: With Matt Garza gone, his spot will go to Jeremy Hellickson, but when? We still wouldn't be surprised if Andy Sonnanstine is in the rotation the first couple of weeks. 由於 Matt Garza 被交易掉，空缺將會由 Jeremy Hellickson 頂替。但在何時呢？ 如果開季前幾個星期看到 Andy Sonnanstine 加入輪值也不用太驚訝。 註：Hellickson 開季仍在3A原因推測應該是與去年 Price 相同狀況，球團想要延長 他的使用時間(不想讓其年資增加太快)。 4. BULLPEN: Five spots appear to be spoken for. Adam Russell is out of minor league options, so he is in. Cesar Cabral has to be on the opening day roster as a Rule 5 pick. But if Adam Russell is ready, the Rays may be OK with sending Cabral back. Also, look for Cesar Ramos to keep JP Howell's spot warm until he is back from the DL. Adam Russell 已經沒有 option 所以必須要擺進去。Cesar Cabral 也會在其中 (因為是Rule 5球員，一旦季賽沒在25人名單就必須送還原球隊)，但如果 Russell 已經準備ok，那將可以取代 Cesar Cabral，Cesar Ramos 將在牛棚直到J.P. Howell 回歸到球隊裡。 來源：http://tinyurl.com/4zty8pr --
