Who will be the odd man out in the rotation and how does Buck do it?

[WEAVERMAN]

KG to the pen, but not for development purposes. He's in the holding pattern.

[Nevermore]

I voted Norris to the DL. I am highly suspicious that something is wrong with his back, which may very well be the reason why he is stinking up the joint during ST. Let them fix his back, he can do some AAA rehab starts, then perhaps return. By then, someone else may very well have been injured, traded, or began imploding.

Trade Norris, Christian Walker, and some A prospect to the Phils for Ryan Howard and $50 Mil.

Have the Phils throw in Cole Hamels and Chase Utley and we have a deal.

Nah. I bet you if we somehow land Howard, between AJ, CD, Pearce and Howard, we get 115 HR. I'd put money on it. Howard would be our DH.

Adam Warren has locked up the Yankee fifth spot.

Out-of-options Esmil Rogers will either need to lock up a pen slot or, perhaps, find another team.

Gonzalez hasn't had a start since last Saturday. Gausman starts on Tuesday pushing Tillman back to Wednesday. That lines up for an OD start. There are two games tomorrow. Jiminez would be on normal rest, but Chen and Gonzalez haven't pitched in a week. One of those guys could be the game 3 starter if they have normal rest.

I voted Gausman to the pen, only because that seems to be the way the wind is blowing. And it's not because he needs to develop more pitches.

It's still just a matter of time before someone get hurt or stinks for a sufficient period that Gausman gets inserted into the rotation. I'd bet he makes 25 starts even if he begins the year in the bullpen.

This. It looks like that is the plan at the moment, don't like it much, but seems like that is the way they will go unless someone gets hurt or traded.

I voted other. Gausman to the pen to be the 7th inning guy. Nothing to do with working on his pitches. Just the best guy for the guy to lead into ODay and Britton.

Zach Davies pitches on Monday and Gausman on Tuesday. When Tillman gets the ball on Wednesday, he'll be five days out from Opening Day. I look for Chen to pitch on Thursday and game 2. Chen and Gonzalez have been having long breaks between starts, but they chose to keep Ubaldo in five days. He may end up getting Friday's start, stay on five days and get the game 3 start.

That leaves one more ST start for Norris or Gonzalez. My money is on Bud getting that and the home opener.

They may end up keeping both Miguel and Kevin down to buy some time to solve Webb, Matusz, the two rule V guys, and Lough/Paredes.

But I think we'll see Tillman, Chen, Ubaldo, and Norris.

So do I.

Neither Gonzalez or Norris look ready. One more start to get ready before the bell rings.

There's not enough games left to give them both starts.

Buck said after today's game it's going to be tough to keep both Garcia and Verret .

6 'A' games left on the spring schedule. They also could pitch in a minor league game.
