6-Man rotation?

[PolarVortex]

If you ran the Mariners, all of our starting pitchers were healthy, and you were free to set the depth chart anyway you chose, what would it be? Here is mine:

1. Paxton
2. Miranda
3. Felix
4. Bergman
5. Gaviglio
6. Smyly (lefty long man in Mariners bullpen)
7. Iwakuma (righty long man in Mariners bullpen)
8. Weber (#1 on Rainiers staff)
9. Overton ("#2 on Rainiers staff)
10. De Jong (#3 on Rainiers staff)
11. Whalen (#4 on Rainiers staff)
12. Gallardo (DFA and hopefully traded)

Considering all of the rotation injuries this year, when Smyly, Felix and Iwakuma are all healthy, the Mariners might want to consider a 6-man rotation. Some of these guys would really benefit.

I think guys like Bergman, Gaviglio, Gallardo are all on borrowed time.

1- Paxton
2- King
3- Miranda
4- Kuma/Bergman if Kuma out longer
5- Smyly

The rest back to Tacoma. I liked Weber, but not sure if he pitches again this year.

I wouldn't wish Gallardo on any of our minor league affiliates. Just ship him back to Junior Varsity.

This is the rotation that I would like to see. Not all that confident everyone will be healthy all at the same time.

Gaviglio and Bergman have done well (outside that horrible Bergman start) it is hard to believe they will be able to keep that going much longer.
