Even though everyone is pitching well now, it may not be that way when Grayson is ready to return. It is most likely that whoever is pitching worse between Irvin, Means, and Kremer goes to the pen.
A 6 man rotation could throw off everyone’s rhythm and routine. With how regimented Burnes is in regards to his preparation and with this being a FA year for him, I don’t see him being in favor of that.
He was dealing out there. I know a lot of the board doesn't like him but he's a very good back of the rotation starter. He eats innings for us and is definitely getting better. Unlike a guy like Wells who is much better in a one or two inning relief role, ghe definitely needs to stay in the rotation when Grayson comes back. Maybe we should consider a 6 man rotation?
Burnes, Bradish, Rodriguez, Means, Kremer, Irvin. Or just use Irvin as a swing man in a 5 man rotation.
Baumann or a rotation of Tate, Baker, Vespi, Krook, Heasley, Ort, and Zimmerman? That last roster spot in the pen might be too valuable to not rotate guys through for matchups/freshness.
