The Astros must play 26 games in the first 28 days of the season this year. Using a 6 man rotation would allow more time to adapt to the regular season. It also may reduce injuries and provide more opportunity for pitchers to establish themselves as starters. One downside is it leaves you one pitcher short in the bullpen. What would your rotation be after Hunter Brown?
I would love to see Lance put it all together for the number 4 spot, and that would only leave one true remaining starter. I believe we could work one of the young guys in at the no. 5 spot. No. 6 could be a bullpin day or some kind of hybrid thing. I'm feeling good about pitching, except for closing. We'll just have to go into save situations with 2-3 run leads.
