After projecting the roster before Spring Training and in the middle of Grapefruit League play, here's a look at the current roster and how the projections fared:
Starting pitchers (5): Ervin Santana, Hector Santiago, Kyle Gibson, Phil Hughes, Mejia. The first four spots in the rotation were always locks, barring injury, but the race for the fifth starter was hard to predict. Trevor May was the projected starter, but underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery in March. Jose Berrios was thought to be the slight favorite halfway through, but didn't get enough innings in the World Baseball Classic.
