I’m going to start this thread again this year. But I’ll just it one rung at a time.
Since Mathews, Roby, Fitts, Hjerpe cannot be included due to a possible lockout with 40 man roster implications I’ll pick the following. These 5 seem straightforward given the possible work stoppage.
Cinjtje
Molina
Franklin
Doyle
Thompson
Eagen (if one injury or you move Thompson to pen)
This rotation would give us fans plenty to watch in the event of a lockout. I also like that there are no Zimmermans or Shuster involved. In case of injuries Davis and/or Fajardo could be included.
A lockout could lead to aggressive promotions. And a possibility of signing minor league free agents, which is more likely IMO at Springfield or lower levels.
27 it seems like all of those you mention will be worthy of a AAA slot next spring, which points up crowded conditions at the top of the system if there is no lock out, or once it lifts. There are only so many rotation slots between ML and AAA, and lots of worthy names. Of course, there are likely to be injuries, but also injury returns.
