The Blue Jays made the rotation order official, announcing how John Gibbons’ starters will be used to open the season. Marco Estrada gets the ball on Opening Day, followed by J.A. Happ and Marcus Stroman in the first series. Francisco Liriano will pitch the 4th game and last year’s AL ERA leader, Aaron Sanchez, will bring up the rear.
It’s an awfully good problem to have for Gibbons and the Jays, having a talented, deep, and versatile rotation, expected to be among the best in all of baseball.
