April 1, 200917 yr So is this our opening day roster/lineup? vs L (Lannan) Emilio Bonifacio-3B Cameron Maybin-CF Hanley Ramirez-SS Jorge Cantu-1B Dan Uggla-2B Jeremy Hermida-LF Cody Ross-RF Ronny Paulino-C (I assume Paulino starts vs lefties?) Bench: John Baker Ross Gload Wes Helms Andy Gonzalez Brett Carroll SP Ricky Nolasco Josh Johnson Chris Volstad Anibal Sanchez Andrew Miller (skipped forst time around) RP: Matt Lindstrom Renyel Pinto Leo Nunez Kiko Calero Dan Meyer Logan Kensing Hayden Penn
April 1, 200917 yr They said today that Baker was starting on opening day and Paulino was starting game 2.

John Baker might get the start on opening day just because he earned it, but really Paulino should start against a lefty. Also, I don't know if they'll carry whoever is the 5th starter on the ML roster or not, but they probably will.
April 1, 200917 yr Any reasoning for it being Andy Gonzalez on the bench? The Mez replacement. Also, Beinfest hinted that he might make the team since it looks like Mez isn't making opening day.
April 1, 200917 yr I like Bonifacio leading off, but I don't like how that may push Maybin into the 8 spot.
April 1, 200917 yr I like Bonifacio leading off, but I don't like how that may push Maybin into the 8 spot. That would be terrible.
April 1, 200917 yr I like Bonifacio leading off, but I don't like how that may push Maybin into the 8 spot. Agreed, I like what some others have mentioned, which is Maybin leading off and EB batting 9th. Maybin Baker Hanley Cantu Uggla Hermida Ross Pitcher EB

This is right. Gonzalez has gotten some rave reviews this spring, so he might deserve a shot until Amezaga comes back, which really shouldn't be more than a couple of weeks away.
