Now that ST is here, it's time to place your bets.
I think they start with Alonzo in AAA, for contract purposes;
I think they start with 8 in the pen (I'd prefer 7, with a legit backup SS, like guillorme), and hopefully go down to 7 when Alonzo comes up in a month (particularly since JD Davis can give them some mop-up innings if necessary);
And while I hope they can move any or all of Frazier, Lagares, d'Arnaud, and Vargas, I don't expect it to happen.
Therefore:
lineup
Nimmo (Rf)*
Lowrie (3b)#
Cano (2b)*
Ramos (C)
Conforto (Lf)*
Frazier (1b) [Alonzo, after a month]
Lagares (Cf)
P-
Rosario (SS)
bench
McNeil*
d'Arnaud
Broxton
Davis
rotation
DeGrom
Syndegaard
Matz*
Wheeler
Vargas*
bullpen
Diaz
Familia
Wilson*
Lugo
Gsellman
Avilan*
Dowdy
D.Smith [goes down when Alonzo comes up]
Next!
