Chirinos or Yarborough for swing role?

I have been a Rays fan since Day 1. Do you think any of the prospects make Opening Day? If so, then whom? Also how long do you think it'll be until we see a competitive team again?

I think Yonny Chirinos or Ryan Yarbrough have a legitimate chance to be that guy. With the announcement that the Rays will be going to a bullpen day as a fifth starter, they are looking at guys who can pitch multiple innings, and can re-boot a day or two later to pitch again.
