Our Day Two journey through San Diego Padres spring training will look at the starting rotation. Manager Andy Green addressed the media yesterday as pitchers and catchers arrived and had a few things to say about his starting pitchers.
Green stated that Clayton Richard and Bryan Mitchell are virtual locks for the rotation. There is a good chance that Richard is the Opening Day starter, while Mitchell acquired to be a starting pitcher for the Padres. He will get his shot immediately.
Luis Perdomo and Dinelson Lamet have a “leg-up” on the rest of the competition.
