Yup, Matt Williams waited until just after I posted this to make his announcement. I swear some of these managers show no courtesy for the work I do. Gio Gonzalez & then Jordan Zimermannnn to fill out that opening series for the Nats, and they'll be facing ???, ???, and ??? ... in that order.

Well, he said some sources have indicated as such, anyhow.

I think that is (or would be) the right choice.

Come March 31, we'll be chillin' with Dillon, according to Terry C.

Yu Darvish ((stiff neck - seeing specialist - return unknown) out for the Rangers so the Phils will see Tanner Schleppers on opening day instead.

Sheesh, if that doesn't sound like symbolic nomenclature, I don't know what. Tanner Schleppers, the talented but privileged and therefore lazy middle-of-the-rotation starter who can never get over the hump because of dumb mistakes, who speaks of lessons learned from his many comeuppances, but never quite embodies these lessons and remains a mid-to-backender. Tanner Schleppers.
