DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays will officially open their Grapefruit League season against the Phillies on Friday afternoon with a projected 25-man roster that appears mostly set.
With the exception of two or three spots in the bullpen, there are not a lot of jobs up for grabs. The thing is, that has been the case during recent springs as well, and all it took was a couple of injuries to change everything.
On the eve of Joe Biagini taking the ball for the spring opener, here's a closer look at the Blue Jays' dark-horse candidates for the upcoming season:
Carlos Ramirez
Ramirez currently projects to start the season at Triple-A, but that has more to do with his contract status than anything else.
