Robby Snelling Not a Lock to Make Opening Day Rotation?
Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling may not be a lock to make the Opening Day rotation. Earlier in camp, the Marlins announced that veteran Chris Paddack would be joining the rotation, which gives Snelling one fewer starting position. Additionally, Max Meyer and Braxton Garrett are both fully healthy in the early stages of spring training. Both would have the edge over Snelling, given their previous MLB experience. As a result, Snelling currently sits as the team's No. 6 starter, on the outside of the five-man rotation. Last summer, Snelling looked quite comfortable in his first taste of Triple-A, logging 63 2/3 innings to the tune of a 1.27 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and an 81:17 K:BB. Managers should continue to monitor his status, but it appears the 22-year-old might be ticketed for Triple-A to begin the season if the Marlins opt to deploy a five-man rotation.
