PHOENIX -- Put A.J. Pollock in the leadoff spot, Paul Goldschmidt third and pencil in David Peralta for cleanup. Then your guess is as good as any where everyone else will be when it comes to the D-backs' Opening Day lineup.

With the D-backs pitchers and catchers reporting to Salt River Fields on Wednesday, we continue our Spring Training preview series, with a look at the projected lineup, rotation and bullpen.

• Spring Training:Schedule | Tickets | Information

Don't read too much into what is below, because it is dependent on a lot of moving parts. Who wins the second base/shortstop competitions? Who is the starting third baseman? Only when those things are settled can you even begin to construct a lineup.

With the rotation, the first three spots are set, and we put Rubby De La Rosa and Robbie Ray in the final two spots simply because heading into camp, manager Chip Hale says they have a leg up given their performances last year.
