Rotation
So, how's the opening week going to break down, pitching-wise?
My thoughts:
Opening Day, vs Mets - Hendrickson
April 1 (day 2) - Nolasco
April 2 - Vandenhurk
April 4, vs Pirates - Olsen
Come April 13, I think the fifth starter will be Badenhop.
Thoughts?

My guess
4/1-VandenHurk or Miller
4/2-Volstad
4/3-Olsen
4/13-Hernandez
Nolasco ends up in the bullpen.

Split the difference
Hendrickson
VandenHurk
Olsen
Miller
Nolasco
Badenhop turned long reliever to stretch him out for the inevitable rotation opening.
Miller quite obviously shouldn't be in the bigs to start, but I honestly think they'll roll with him early to keep Volstad's service time clock from starting. Somebody's going to have to go down when guys start coming back from injury -- better to keep Volstad cheap for another year down the road than to get two months of him on this year's team.
