With the news that Jonny DeLuca will be sidelined for over a month and Junior Caminero will start the season in the minor leagues, we take a stab at predicting the Opening Day roster, a game which everyone in this space loves to play, no matter how frivolous it is.

While we feel pretty confident about the Rays ability to absorb injuries due to their depth, how prepared are the other teams in the AL East to get through the slog of a full season?
