Rays Depth Chart as of Now

Who do you think is the most ready out of all of them to play directly into the majors?

Niemann easily. He can easily come in and become a nice #2 SP. If we can get Price signed this summer to go along with Kazmir and Niemann, we would have the makings of a great rotation for many years. With 2 #1s in Kazmir and Price and a solid #2 in Niemann, we could actually live with 2 #5s at the back end of the rotation. Maybe some of our young arms will be easily movable to the bullpen to shore it up.

Yea we definetly need to to get Price, then there would be no need to trade Rocco. Move Howell, Stokes to the pen and get a nice closer and i honestly believe we compete for a WC

Thats what I was thinking about the bullpen to give them a few releif appearances to see how the do. Maybe we'll find someone like Papelbon in the bunch who would be willing to stay at closer and sure up our bullpen.

Niemann could be very well be our #2 - #4 starter depending if any of our current pitchers in the majors have breakout years.
