Little snipet in there about Marcum starting the first Spring Training game. If you schedule it out that lines him up for the home opener. Feb 28, Mar 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and April 4(day of the home opener). Seems to me like it'll be Greinke, Gallardo, Wolf, Marcum, Narveson for our rotation then.

Curious if they'll skip a couple of Narveson's starts in April to get Greinke a couple extra starts or if they'll just run a straight five man to keep everyone in their routine.

i'd assume Greinke should start the day after the hope opener, due to the off day on March 1st, unless Roenicke is different than most managers.

I would guess that Greinke gets the start the day after the home opener, so he can start the Sunday after against the Cubs. After that they might just go with a straight 5-man rotation.

Marcum is a solid choice for the home opener. Looking forward to that.
