There's been a bit of discussion on this in prior pages. IMO there's no rush to define the five starters. I think we could go a couple months and rotate rest between all six guys. It's also possible (if not likely) that 1-2 will get dinged up along the way.
Obviously at a certain point we have to start narrowing down who we want our playoff starters to be. Right now, I think that's Framber, ZG, LMJ and Garcia. Then we craft new roles for Odo and Urquidy. But I think that's something we can address in a few months.
I'd just make that 5th day a tandem start day with who you think might not be a playoff starter and switch who gets to start it every other time.
Accomplishes a few things in my mind:
1) Keeps these guys stretched out while facing MLB hitters
2) Allows these guys to get used to coming out of the pen so it's not so foreign for a big game situation
3) Keeps the bullpen fresh.
I think that's how I would handle it.
