Not sure the season will start with just 26 on the roster. I would think rosters will be around 29, with room for extra pitchers. That'll likely mean guys like Fedde and some additional relievers, maybe multi-inning guys, would start the season in middle / long relief to pick up for short starts as the regular rotation build their arms back up.
I would think the extra rest might be helpful for Max, Stras, Corbin and Sanchez given they went an extra month in the playoffs last year. If it is something like a 100 game season, they might better be able to avoid burn out (OTOH, that burnout might happen in the playoffs).
I'm not sue the season will start anymore now. Roster seems least of our worries.
