Opening Day Roster
Rotation
Pete Vuckovich
Mike Parrott
Ed Whitson
Mark Foster
Jim Clancy
Three hold-overs and two converted relievers. I was very happy with Whitson in Spring Training... the rest, not so much. I have faith in Vuckovich and Foster did well for me last year.
Bullpen
Victor Cruz (CL)
Mike Barlow
Tucker Garland
Dennis DeBarr
Rick Baldwin
Domingo Nieto
John Taylor
They all pitched well this Spring. Enough that I decided to keep an extra reliever up this year. We'll see if I like it or whether the first bullpen arm that falters goes down for another infielder.
Position Players
I decided to let Hartsfield set the line-ups to open the season. We'll see how I like them as the year progresses. He has certainly done some things that I wouldn't have...
C - Joe Nolan & Biff Pocoroba (strict platoon)
1B - Jerome Thomson (I think of him as a 2B first and a back-up 1B)
2B - Rich Dauer
3B - Phil Mankowski
SS - Alfredo Griffin & Kiko Garcia (I was going to play Griffin at 1B)
LF - Skip McBeath
CF - Matt Robinson
RF - Oscar Gamble
DH - Ron LeFlore
Bench - Carlos Hernandez, Steve Bailey
Hartsfield also plays the back-ups a lot less than I do.
