I was tempted to see Cain on the DL and Blach at the #5, but this is opening day, and I don't think the Giants would do that to Cain unless he has a horrid Spring.

I'd sub Gearrin for Ramirez but otherwise spot on.

Boch does not have a history of playing the PR game much, so I don't see that as a barrier to this roster.

That said, I think Gorkys can PR in the 7th and move to the field, or Gonor will get enough put to put Nunez in the role.

Rollins is officially out, though there isn't any word yet on what he will do moving forward. Also, it looks like Mac has made the team, which pretty much kills Marreros chances. No word on Ramirez/Gearin...

I have not read this at all. I thought it was a foregone conclusion that he was going to AAA.

I understood Marrero to be on the team.

Hmmmmm

I was basing it on a post over at DrB's site. I have looked for confirmation, but can't find it.

I was unaware Marerro is hurt...

So far nothing from the media, nothing from Twitter.
