Might as well just write Edwin off until May 1 then??

Him being ineffective until June is a good bet, too

[Orgfiller]

Pretty much the Opening Day lineups for both teams save for a couple of players, notably Edwin.

Gut says Edwin won't be in the opening day lineup

Man I wish this game was televised. Stroman pitching and the Jays full lineup save Edwin. f***in SN

I thought Edwin was scheduled to dh in a minor league game today

[flafson]

Finally a good lineup.

[West Texas Forever]

How many innings do you think Stro will go today? 6?

According to Buck, 9.

Is anyone else not really impressed with Martin's production last year? He also cost the Jays a few runs in the playoffs with some brain fart plays.

Martin was great last year, not sure what stats you're looking at. He had 1 abysmal month (July/August?) but was solid other than that.

He had a great first half, then he got injured (I think it was the thumb after receiving a knuckler) and he played through it stubbornly. He has done a great job considering his age. We are fortunate he hasn't been deadweight at all.

3.5 WAR without including framing. 114 wRC+. Career high home run total. Generally very good defense. I'm plenty happy with Martin.

 

Yeah he had some playoff gaffes but he really helped us get there

[Governator]

I'm so sick of the Phillies.

A 32 year old catcher giving you all star numbers is not impressive. Let's give the job to AJ Jimenez

At least they aren't forcing us to let the pitcher hit.

[Governator]

Saunders should be batting 5th

You stand alone.

[Governator]

I picked up Franco in my draft, hoping he stays hot.

[burlingtonbandit]

Saunders should be batting 5th

 

Yeah I'm not a fan of him hitting 8th. He's probably the 4th best hitter vs RHP in that lineup (EE excluded).

I just meant that he seemed to under perform last year. Then I forgot he did get injured on a knuckleball and probably played through a lot of pain. He doesn't take many walks and strikes out a lot it seems.

Only downside is it's always Wilner, no Howarth
