If we assume the Red Sox have a 6 man bullpen at most in the playoffs, it could look like this. A 4th starter may not be needed with the off days.
Wright, Pomeranz or Rodriguez. I think Drew has the edge for the rotation spot right now.
Clay
Ziegler
Ross
Kimbrel
Barnes
I'll take my chances with that along with the offense.
If they go with an 11 man staff, you could squeeze in Hembree as a ROOGY with the other 4 guys as starters. If Pomeranz is rested and Wright craps the bed the rest of the way, you could keep Wright in the pen and Drew in the rotation.
It's also possible Rodriguez doesn't see meaningful post season innings with his command so inconsistent. Someone could emerge in September too that knocks out one of the above.
