Projecting the MS and Florida rotations next year could lead us one of two ways.
We'll assume Fried, Gohara, Allard, and Soroka are above AA status.
You'd start the AA rotation with Touki which makes sense, since he just got promoted. After that it's a guessing game. I'd guess Wright would start out there as well. It seems they use Lewellyn to focus on the ones who need the most help and I don't think Wright will need much. Withrow could be here as well, or he could be dealt, in AAA rotation, or in the AAA pen. Drew Harrington could be an option, but he did not pitch that well in Florida before he got injured. Ricardo Sanchez could be an option, but he'd be one I'd ask to repeat High A being he's only 20 and his numbers do not look good. So, I'd start it out with Touki and Wright.
In Florida you'd start with Kyle Muller and Jeremy Walker. Muller's injury had him behind, but I don't think he'll need Rome. Walker righted the ship the last couple of months, but is clearly behind the others and could use some time in Florida. Tucker Davidson would be a guy that could be in the rotation. He's done well since going to starting. Rangal could be a guy who could be there as well.
Initially I had a MS rotaiton of Wright, Touki, Harrington, Sanchez, and Withrow and a Florida rotation of Anderson, Wentz, Wilson, Muller, and Walker. After looking at it, realizing Harrington and Sanchez shouldn't be in AA yet and also thinking we may acquire some high risk/high reward arms that should start out in Florida I'm thinking the "Big 3" from Rome may move up to MS.
Of course trades will dictate a lot.
