As has been well-documented thus far in Spring Training, Fernando Rodney will not be ready for Opening Day. According to Fernando though, he'll be there some time in April.
There's a good chance, at least in my mind, that as good as Fernando feels, he's going hurt a bit more pitching in the cold Detroit April. Tendinitis sucks as it is, but when I had it in my heel it hurt about five times more when it was cold. I had it in my heel and that wasn't nearly as important to baseball as throwing is, especially for a pitcher.
The arm issues happening with Zumaya and Rodney are both really going to hurt this team. As many improvements as the lineup and starting rotation have had, the fucking bullpen has stayed stagnant and maybe even gotten worse with the loss of Rodney. We really might need to take 10 run leads in the early innings of every game just in case the fucking bullpen can't hold the lead. It's a legit worry of mine.
