Over the last couple of seasons, the Blue Jays have been very fortunate with the performance and health of their starting pitching staff. While many fans expected the Jays to go as far as their bats would take them in 2016, it was actually their rotation that carried them into the postseason, as the AL’s most productive group of starters.
The Blue Jays will return a group of familiar faces to their rotation this year in Aaron Sanchez, Marco Estrada, J.A. Happ, Francisco Liriano and Marcus Stroman.
At this stage of spring training, it remains to be seen how John Gibbons will line up his starting five.
