As expected, specifies, Berg, Johnson, Gallagher, and Holliman as four of the starters.

 

Does not specify who #5 is.

 

I know Nathan thought that Hagerty is #5, and I hope he's correct.

 

A friend who was at camp late last week said that Weber was starting one of their last Mesa games, though, so seems a good chance that he's #5.

 

Before camp opened, I'd have thought Carlos Perez was a good candidate, too.

 

Shaver is definitely in relief.

Didn't the Cubs target Shaver as a relief specialist when they drafted him?

I hope Nathan is right about Hagerty, he is immensely talented and a bounce back season would be huge for him.

Just talked to Derek Ingram and he confirmed that Hagerty is in the starting rotation.

Excellent! That's really interesting, and hopeful news. Heh, let's hope he's not only in the rotation, but that he can succeed there.

 

So, DJAXXFAN, now we're confirmed on all the rotations... except I'm not sure I've seen your DJaxx rotation! Did I miss that somewhere?

 

I know Mathes, I've assumed Marmol, and since Mateo pitched five yesterday, I assume he's in. I hope Wells is in; he's young enough, looked good this spring, and was very effective in rotation for Daytona. (Although he's formerly been used in relief, so may project more as a big-league reliever if he makes the majors.)

 

Are those right, or no?

 

And who's #5? Pigs? Cash? Cherry?

I didn't catch it in the broadcast, but Jon was listening and wrote that the rotation will be Mathes, Marmol, Wells, Cash and Mateo. Piggy will be used out of the 'pen.
