Pitching rotation outlook

This is a list I am thinking about.

Just throwing out a thread.
I hope we get good starts until some of the arm problems get better.

Adam Wainwright
Braden Looper
Kyle Lohse
Brad Thompson - If he gets a good game with his sinker, he gets punished on the bench. (What kind of message is that? Don't do good.) Bye sinker. Starts and relief both might help.

Joel Piniero
Todd Wellemeyer - We won with him.

Anthony Reyes
Kyle McClellan
Matt Clement
Mark Mulder
Chris Carpenter

I'm sure Ryan Franklin is not considered starting.

I hope that they all do great, no matter what Tony does.

The odds a stacked against Mulder coming all the way back.
I hope he makes it.

This April has a full schedule, while we are trying to get our pitchers back.
Off days might have helped. Only April 14 is scheduled off.

A system could be set up with a second starter to keep from wearing out the bullpen.
Hope the starter gets in some innings. Have a second one set to follow him, and hope he can enter at the start of an inning, like a starter does.
