Do you know if the rotation has been set yet? Was just curious about that. Curious about the line-up too, but I'll find at tomorrow at Kyocera. Will be interesting to see how they juggle things without Murton available.

Confirmed are Nohmi, Messenger, Standridge, Andoh and Iwata. The sixth place is up for grabs and currently seems to be between Kobayashi and Kubo. Kubo has been a bit unhealthy recently.

Are there two Ryota Arais on the team (32 infielder and 8 outfielder)? Why isn't Lin on this roster?

Thanks for that - entry corrected.
As far as Wada is concerned Lin didn't perform well enough to make the opening day roster.

Another year, another manager deciding Lin didn't perform well enough to make the team. Last I looked, Kanemoto was batting .192. I guess that's good enough.

Gotta wonder if Lin would have cashed that runner at third in the tenth. He's built for situations exactly like that.

I seem to remember Lin performing well in Kyocera Dome, but unfortunately can't help us when he's not on the roster. All I can say is I really wish we would have had Lin as an option rather than Shunsuke yesterday!

Of course pitchers will change and the fact that you don't see Messenger on the roster isn't significant.
