What are they gonna do with all of the starting pitchers?

Verlander
Keuchel
McCullers
Morton
Peacock
McHugh
Fiers
Musgrove
Martes


Opening day rotation: (If they are all healthy)
Verlander
Keuchel
McCullers
Morton
McHugh

I think Peacock assumes that "super reliever" role that comes in whenever it's necessary to shut down a big inning or the heart of the other team's lineup. He's also probably first in line when one of the top 5 hits the DL.

Fiers is your long reliever if he's on the roster, then probably your next guy in the rotation in there's another injury.

Musgrove I think has a place in the late innings.

Martes in AAA or bullpen.

My predictions (though I'm sure it will be wrong):

Verlander
Keuchel
McCullers
Morton
McCugh

Peacock and the super long relief role and is the next starter up if someone gets hurt

Musgrove stays in the bullpen

Martes to AAA

I assume they would try to trade Fiers, which they should be able to do. If not, I guess release him. Don't know how he fits on this team anymore.

I wouldn't be against us signing Will Davis too, but giving big money to one reliever for some reason doesn't sit right with me, even for Wade Davis.
