Clayton is a given and Zach is a pretty solid #2. I felt Chad would be third in line but as you pointed out he is playing Russian Roulette with TJ surgery. I move Beckett into third in Chad's absence, Capuano fourth and then Ryu (only because he is unknown and in essence a rookie to MLB). <br /><br />I expect Ted Lilly will have another season plagued by health issues. Fife goes back to Albuquerque. If he is Doug Rau, Kirk Reuter, Geoff Zahn, even Aaron Harang, he has a future in MLB. Harang seems to be the odd man out as I doubt he will be sent to AAA. I still feel one starter will be traded. (Capuano or Harang)<br /><br />Do we want three lefties in the starting rotation or three righties? <br /><br />Back to Chad - other than Clayton and Zach - every other pitcher is in limbo to some extent because of Chad's arm. Beckett and Ryu are safe but their exact role will not be known until Chad's is known.Bluenose Dodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803830130432084223noreply@blogger.com
