So after a flurry of activity, we probably need a focused thread on the rotation, so here's where it stands:
Locks
Sale
Porcello
Price
Battling for 2 Slots
Buchholz
Pomeranz
EdRo
Wright
Issues for Discussion
Who are the favorites for those last two slots and why?
If it's Pom and EdRo, is there a concern about having 4 lefties in the rotation?
Do they trade a starter at this point? Or do they wait until spring training or later?
Do they keep the one or two leftovers in the 'pen or does someone get sent down (if that's even possible)?
What is the relative trade value of the 4 contenders?
And anything else you wish to discuss. Have at it.
