With Chavez I'm pretty concerned if he's on the opening day roster. I'd deal him to get better long guns in the bullpen.

Yep, pretty frustrating. I guess we could see Chavez in the pen, he's been there most of his career. Happ will be in the rotation IMO. I suppose a bat could be moved for an arm but I doubt it. I think Happ is Price's replacement essentially and they're just hoping for the best with the rest of them. Stroman is the only one I have tons of confidence in even though Estrada was really impressive last year. The worry with him is that he starts to get figured out. A guy like him has such a thin margin of error, he could go either way. We need him to replicate his 2015 season except we need 190-200 innings this time. I'm not sure if that's too much too expect, it kind of seems like it is.
