Prediction about your prediction: Could easily see Urias and Price both be given turns as starters and bullpen guys. Same for May and Gonsolin. The 4th and 5th starters will be back and forth between these four guys for most of the year if not into the postseason.
Gonsolin is probably the worst option out of the pen (based on last season's performance, although I don't think Roberts always put him in spots to succeed in relief - I DIGRESS), so if he's not starting he could be optioned first (barring injuries of course).
The Greinke stories are incredible. He's truly one of my favorite all-time players, and one of the few I still follow even after leaving the Dodgers. I like that he hit a guy in spring training so not to waste some of his limited pitch-count, because he wanted to focus on other hitters. Just one of many classic tales of Greinke.
Glad he spent time as a Dodger. Appreciated the honesty that he signed here because they offered the highest salary, and thus had to accept that he went to AZ for the same reason. I hope he pitches another 5 years. Baseball is much better with him around, even if he's on the loathsome Astros.

Prediction complete.
This roster is better then 85% of my FantasyBB drafts over the last 10 years 💪🏻
Thanks Howard. I really enjoy your work.
Great column Howie. DJ Peters???
You don’t like him?
After a pretty mediocre 2020, does Muncy's slow start this spring come with question marks? Do his 2017-2018 numbers return in 2021?
I’m confident he’ll be fine. Not at all concerned.

Well said, Jeff!
