    yeah it looks like an open competition between Touki, Fried, Wright and Wilson for 3 spots. Of course Gausman and Folty will eventually reclaim 2 of those spots.

    Could be a hint that Parsons will get a spot in the pen.

    I think Newk will start the year in the rotation. But he could lose his spot when Gausman and Folty return. He has to do well in his first couple starts.

    This statement made me look at who's been doling out the BBs this Spring and of course Newk is the main culprit, but suprisingly Touki only has 2 BBs in 14 innings.

    Wilson has 2 in 13 innings, Wright has 2 in 12 innings

    Yup. They (and Julion) have put up some really great strikeout to walk ratios.

    Teheran, Fried, Wright, Touki, Wilson is going to be lit.

    They only need 4 for the first week, but AA's comments certainly make it look like Newk isn't going to be in the rotation.

    Here's the plan Stan for the rotation:

    Phillies Game 1 Teheran
    Phillies Game 2 Touki
    Phillies Game 3 Wilson

    Cubs Game 1 Fried
    Cubs Game 2 Teheran
    Cubs Game 3 Touki

    Marlins Game 1 Wilson
    Marlins Game 2 Gausman
    Marlins Game 3 Fried

    Folty comes back in late April. One of Touki or Wilson is sent down.

    Eventually Soroka and Gohara will force their way into the rotation. No need to hurry. Let em have 2-3 months in the minors.

    I honestly think Soroka, Fried, Wright, Touki, Wilson and Gohora have higher ceilings than everyone in our rotation not named Folty....and Folty really has one year that we are hoping he doesn’t regress.

    All of the names above dominated the minors and rose quickly. When it’s mentioned about making trades from our pitching depth...I’d rather see Newk, Guasman and Julio be the guys gone next year.

    I also wouldn’t take Folty off the trade table if there was a huge offer. His health worries me. He flirted with that forearm tightness last year.

    We have Anderson, Muller, Wentz, etc. on the heels of these guys. It’s time to let the young guys have a go. I’m fine if Gausman, Julio and Newk are pitching well, but if they aren’t ....there’s no reason to have them pitching average when we have five guys that could do the same, need that experience and have better stuff.

    Smolty, Mad Dog, Glavine, Avery with Millwood or Neagle.

    Wright, Tookie, Fried, Wilson/Soroka, and Anderson.

    We can dream with a staff that provided many years of domination and frustration as they pitched their ass off and only one WS win, but you get a chance, that is all we ask.

    But I ain't seeing it but I can be wrond.

    All logic aside, if ever healthy I'd love to see Gohora get a look at closer. And yes, I'm aware I'm not the first one to suggest this.

    I saw Gohard at espn a few weeks ago. You don’t have to be that close to see him.

    I just can’t understand how a guy with that much natural talent can’t be motivated to put in the work required to be great.

    If he flames out it will truly be a shame.
