In the lead up to Opening Day, Marlin Maniac will be going over who’s going to step in to important roles on the team. Today’s article will focus on the starting rotation.
The Rotation
According to the MLB.COM’s breakdown of Miami’s current depth chart, the following eight pitchers are in the running for the five pieces of the rotation. Injury, suspect play, and other impossible to predict intangibles cloud the picture. I’ll label each entry with a percentage indicator to show possibility, but I am in no way a fortune teller.
Jose Urena
Chance at joining the rotation: 100%
Urena has a fastball that touches 99 MPH, an average slider, and an ineffective changeup.
