 * Delete as an indiscriminate collection of information (and a duplication of content already found on the season pages) Mayalld (talk) 16:36, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. All this tells me is who was the preferred non-injured player at each position vs. that pitcher for that particular game.  Could be the best player at one position was injured - could be the listed player at another position was just the right-handed half of a platoon and the opening day starter for the opposition was left-handed, etc., etc.  Quite indiscriminate.  —Wknight94 (talk) 23:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Eh, I was trying to think of reasons why this is a notable list... but it really is trivia. At best, in terms of information that could be notable, the listing of a team's opening day pitcher tells you who the ace was in any given year, unless there was an injury... that's not truly trivia in the baseball sense, but ultimately I think this list is trivia in the Wikipedia sense. --Rividian (talk) 19:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
