Spring storylines
Rotation station: For the first time in years, manager Cito Gaston must figure out, "Who's my No. 1?" With ace Halladay traded to the Phillies, there will be a battle for the top spot (likely Ricky Romero or Shaun Marcum), with heavy competition for the final three.
Close out: Who will close games for the Jays? Will it be recently acquired Kevin Gregg, who has the most experience (84 saves) but is coming off a couple of rough seasons? Or will they go with LHP Scott Downs or RHP Jason Frasor?
Comeback trail: RHP Dustin McGowan is facing live hitters this spring for the first time since July 2008 and is coming back from shoulder and knee surgeries. If McGowan can prove he's ready, he could provide a jolt to the young Jays rotation, even if it's after opening day.
Stadium: Knology Park, Dunedin
Tickets: Single game — baseline regular $15, premium $20; reserved regular $17, premium $24; box regular $20, premium $27
