Blue Jays to start Marco Estrada ahead of R.A. Dickey

The Toronto Blue Jays roster has officially taken shape, and the final list of 25 names holds no real surprises. The trio of Aaron Loup, Dalton Pompey and Ezequiel Carrera rounded out the bottom three spots, but after Marcus Stroman was named the game two starter earlier today, my assumption had been that R.A. Dickey would follow him in game three in Texas. A good day to be wrong, I suppose.

Stepping back from the big picture, it really is unfair that we (I) haven’t given Estrada a stronger consideration for the third spot in the rotation.
