We lost starting pitcher Cooper Benson for the season to an elbow injury, but otherwise emerged from the preseason unscathed. Being cheap, I put Jake Rogers on waivers at the end of spring training, in favor of a Zac Susi and Arturo Buruca platoon; he was picked up by the Dodgers. Rogers was a part-time player in all five Expos seasons and was notable mostly for his excellent defense.

We are predicted to finish 87-69, which would be second in the NL East. Charles Bronfman Jr. expects us to stay close to an even record. Once again we have no top 100 prospects, and our system is rated #31 overall, with infielder Sergio Salinas listed as our top overall prospect at #138.

Opening day lineup:
SS Luis Victoriano Garcia
LF Cash Case
RF Jarred Kelenic
1B Wan-hua Chai
2B Jose Altuve
DH Arturo Figueroa
3B Matt Chapman
CF Carlos David Rodriguez
C Zac Susi

The rotation is particularly thin, with no Aaron Nola or Cooper Benson:
Zach Guth
Luis Salinas
Luis Patino
Alex Lange
Griffin Jax

Jax in particular seems to have nine lives; he's spent most of the last two seasons in Ottawa and has been DFA'd twice. Juan Ramirez is the closer yet again, and rookies Jeff Pasceri and Jonathan Pizana, both acquired last year, both made the team.
