Blue Jays Set Starting Rotation; Romero Optioned To Triple-A

The Toronto Blue Jays and manager John Gibbons have set the starting rotation that will take to the mound come opening day this season. After a massive twelve player trade with the Miami Marlins that netted the Blue Jays two excellent pitchers in left hander Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson and a trade that got them National League Cy Young award winner R.A. Dickey from the New York Mets, the Blue Jays have finally revealed their much anticipated rotation. One surprise though, was that left hander Ricky Romero, the club's ace from last season, was option to Triple-A Buffalo after he was dealing with mechanic issues and there is not timetable for his return to the big league club.

R.A. Dickey will head the rotation and will get the nod on opening day. He will be following by Brandon Morrow, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson and J.A. Happ. Happ won the fifth spot in the rotation by having a amazing spring posting an ERA just above one. He and Brandon Morrow are the only returnees from last year's rotation. Now that the starting rotation is set, the bullpen and fielders need to be settled before we can play ball!
