J.A. Happ could open 2013 season in minors
J.A. Happ - S - Toronto Blue Jays
Jan. 12, 2013 - 9:40 AM ET

Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos said J.A. Happ isn't guaranteed a spot on the Opening Day roster.

The Jays are considering using Happ as their swingman this season, but haven't ruled out the possibility of him being stretched out as a starter in the minors. "Right now he'd be our sixth starter in spring training," Anthopoulos said. "Then he would be competing for a spot in the bullpen. He's that sixth guy and could end up in the bullpen but in a more unlikely scenario, he could get optioned."
