Up for grabs, one OF spot.. Prediction: Hermedia wins the last OF slot, to get an extended look and be a LH bat off the bench. Heisey sent to AAA for insurance.
In the pen, Burton and Smith are insurance in the minor leagues and will be called up when/if someone falters. I think Willis is a lock to make Opening Day. He will get 4-6 weeks on the roster to prove whether his roster spot is justified or not.
