From ScottyMitchTSN: A mid-January projection of the Jays’ opening day roster. MORE:
The Jays’ stated desire to improve the rotation has to be deemed a success, as Ryu and Roark will form the most dependable duo they’ve had atop the rotation since 2017.
With Ryu, there’s also that dream scenario that he stays healthy for 200 elite innings, because he’s proven he can be elite at 150 to190 a handful of times.Shoemaker is coming off a torn ACL, but that’s better than another arm issue for the oft-injured righty, so there’s both risk and upside there. The Jays took Anderson’s $8.5 million option off the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers for him to start, but the 32-year-old righty may have to do better than the 4.21 ERA he posted across 132 frames last season or he’ll be pushed byThe battle for the fifth and final spot in the rotation will be the most intriguing of the spring.
Internally, the Jays are crossing their fingers that Borucki’s left elbow can stay healthy and he breaks camp in the rotation, but that’s tough to bet on given the track record. Three other right-handers could be legitimate candidates with strong springs: Thornton, who registered a 4.84 ERA across 154.1 innings as rookie, Waguespack, a nice surprise late in the season with a 4.13 ERA in 13 starts, and Yamaguchi, a 32-year-old veteran of more than 1,000 innings in Japan.
