I'll probably go with a 5-man rotation set to 'start highest rested'.

I just don't have enough 9/10 endurance guys for a 4-man. 

I'll probably carry 11 total pitchers; 5 starters and 6 relievers (3 MR, 2 SU, 1 CL).

This is how I usually set up my pitching staff as well.

I'm likely to do the same, although I'll need to take a closer look at my roster when the draft is over to decide for sure.

I think that i have the best bullpen in the league by far, but my starting rotation is awful jajaja. its to short to play two series in a row without resting between them so i think that this spring trainning will be interesting to see what happen with my try to set a diferent starting rotation

i think i have done a good team and maybe can fight for the post-season this year but i have a lot of veterans so the next years my options will be much lower

what do you think about your team for this years or the next few years??

I have a lot of depth in SP and a lot of power... I'm surprised the preseason predictions have me finishing so low.  They have me going 77-85 and finishing next-to-last.

My Rotations OLD man with 3 30 plus guys but all my starters can start and my pen looks ok but 3 under 30 guys makes me happy. I never did draft a 3b so im going to have to use what I got and I drafted horribly in late rounds so my team isnt the best but if I dont trade my catchers I think I could be a playoff team.
Good things grow in Ontario.

Really happy with my rotation, 2 lefties and 3 righties, in fact I could even go to a 6 man rotation, but instead will have a very good backup youth player who will likely see action after a couple of months in AAA ball or pitching from the pen.

Talking about my bullpen, it's not mighty strong, and is very shallow, an area that I will likely need to trade for in the early months unless some of my younger SPs are happy to build up experience from there.
