I'm not so worried about the rotation right now as I am about the bullpen and our imbalanced roster. 8 relievers is not necessary, and only 4 bench guys really constrains our options. I wouldn't have hit Carroll for Hawpe, for example, tonight since Brad can at least draw walks against lefties, and Gil making the last out as a pinch hitter was painful to watch.
We need to go back to 7 relievers and add a bat to the bench ASAP.
