I don’t want to see Bundy at Camden until he’s 22 (best case scenario). I’m sure it’ll happen before I’m no pro scout. Britton in the 3, Chen 4, Matusz (lights out yesterday) 5. Hammel can pitch another 2 years in the 2-3 spot then Bundy will be 100% ready.

I just saw him pitch on Sunday, and he looks great but he’s nowhere close to being ready. He only threw 3 non-fastballs in his whole outing.

Looking forward to seeing Britton instead of Hunter every 5 days.

I think Britton has the potential to jump in as a #3, possibly a #2 guy in the rotation (pending on whether Hammel continues pitching out of his mind). I like Arrieta, Britton, Hammel, Chen, Matusz as our 5. Hunter to long relief since he’s always good for the first 4 innings or so, then starts to give up the long ball next time around the order (too predictable with the high fastball down the middle of the plate 70% of the time).

Love this rotation, and the depth if injuries occur.

Trade Gregg and stick Hunter in his spot. Arrieta, Hammel, Britton, Chen, Matusz. That rotation sounds good to me.
