A's rotation

[grammysboy]

anyone have an idea of what the A's starting rotation will be for '07?

1SP Rich Harden
2SP Esteban Loaiza
3SP Dan Haren
4SP Joe Blanton
5SP Kirk Saarloos

Kennedy is likely to go into the rotation over Saarloos initially, that 5th spot will probably be rotating between pitchers with a hot hand, both Saarloos and Kennedy, along with a few guys from Sac will probably pitch there before the year is over.

Yeah, I'll second this. I think you could see Saarloos, Kennedy, Komine, Windsor or Halsey in that slot. I think if Kennedy throws well enough in spring training it's his job. If he lands it, I think he could be a nice sleeper.

Yep, Saarloos and Kennedy are the favorites here depending on how Spring goes. Both pitchers have proven themselves, but there are a few young guys that would like to be catapulted into the 5th spot (Windsor, Halsey, Komine).

Any shot of Meyer making the rotation if he has a solid ST?

I think he'd have to be lights out. It's a pretty tough bunch to beat out.

Harden
Haren
Loaiza
Blanton
Kennedy

Jason Windsor, one of the potential guys for the #5 spot, gets a lot of different opinions varying from saying he'll be a #2 to he'll be a long reliever. I guess we'll see this years if they don't send him down to PCL
