Eduardo Rodriguez was scheduled to start the Cactus League opener last week against the Rockies. But, perhaps because we were facing a divisional opponent he’s likely to see in the opening series of the regular season. he pitched on a back field instead. After seeing four candidates for the fifth spot, he will still be the first man guaranteed - health permitting, obviously and touch wood - an Opening Day spot in the Diamondbacks rotation.
