Our rotation is currently.

Soroka (will probably need to be skipped a few times to maintain his innings)
DK (solid #3 type)
Fried (on the DL, probably will need to get skipped or moved to the pen)
Julio is Julio
Gausman/Folty who knows what you can get from them

If you can get Stroman, and go in a playoff series with Soroka/DK/Stroman, thats a very solid front 3.

We without a doubt need another starter more than we need another BP arm, dont think it's particulary close either. Sure the bullpen isnt perfect yes, and we probably need another arm, more likely a solid closer so Luke can move in the 7th-8th inning role. But Webb when healthy, Newk, Minter, Luke, Swarzak, and some others down there, it's not near as bad as it was to start the year. Wiegel/Parsons just got called up as well.
