Yeah, the only way the Rule 5 guy stays is because of a couple of guys going on the DL. They effectively chose him over Barton.
As for the SP depth, yeah, it's funny how last year that was a huge strength, and now we're like, we have such little depth. You have to figure once Colon comes back it's Straily/Gray for 6 & 7. That's not too exciting. I doubt Blackley clears waivers so he's probably gone. Apparently Pedro Figueroa is being stretched out to start in AAA.
