Who do you think should be in our starting rotation out of Spring Training?

I'll predict they break camp with 5 starters, as opposed to under the Allard Baird regime, where they usually broke with 4, and then added one two weeks into the season when there were fewer off-days.

#1 - Meche
#2 - Perez
#3 - Hudson
#4 - Bannister
#5 - De La Rosa

Any thoughts?

And Bannister and Rosa having a not so good spring. But this is my pick.

#1 Meche
#2 Hudson
#3 Perez
#4 Bannister
#5 De la Rosa

Greinke in Omaha with Lumsden, Duckworth, Brazelton and Day/Matt Wright and Wellemeyer in the pen.

The pitching depth is radically improved! 6 of the 7 spots in the bullpen also appear set barring injury of course; Dotel, Riske, Bale, Gobble, Soria, and Wellemeyer.
