The dust has settled and the 26-man roster is set. Manager Matt Quatraro confirmed some surprising player usage decisions. Offseason pickup Jonathan India will work as the club's primary third baseman, with Maikel Garcia opening the season in a utility bench role.
The 5th starter's job did not go to Michael Lorenzen, as anticipated. Quartaro prefers to utilize Lorenzen in a swingman role while inserting Angel Zerpa into the rotation. Zerpa throws five pitches and has made six previous big league starts in his career.
