So the dart throwing strategy going into training camp... as it now appears before the opener:
7 economical darts were mentioned for the 4 and 5 spots:
Ohka, Thomson, Marcum, Towers, McGowan, Matumoto, Zambrano.
Ohka and Towers earn the spots convincingly.
Thompson injured and likely gone.
Don't know where Matumoto dissapeared to.
Zambrano a nice surprise for future starts or helping in pen if he can stay healthy.
Worries may be League and Chacin. (but there's always some bad surprises).
At least Halladay, Burnett and Ryan are OK out of the gate.
