Feb. 28 -- DAY 14: ROTATION UPDATE

Good morning.

Just a quick note on the Phillies' starting rotation for the first few days of games: Jamie Moyer will pitch tomorrow's Grapefruit League opener against the Tigers in Lakeland. He'll be followed by Brett Myers on Friday against the Indians at Bright House, Adam Eaton on Saturday against the Red Sox in Fort Myers and Cole Hamels on Sunday against the Yankees in a televised game at Bright House. Freddy Garcia will pitch in a B-team game Monday at home against the Blue Jays, while Jon Lieber will travel to Sarasota to face the Reds.

It's WAY to early to speculate on the opening-day starter, but what fun would this blog be if we didn't? So, I've looked ahead on the schedule, and if the pitchers stay on rotation (a virtual impossibility since Lieber and Garcia can't continue pitching on the same day in major-league games), the April 2 opener against Atlanta would be Myers' turn. Keep your eyes peeled for rotation changes, and I'll update them as spring training lurches on.
