I think we have:

#6 Smid whose injuries have killed his year
#7 Diaz

You have to elevate Wideman for sure. A month ago I would have said
#1 Gio
#2 Brodie
#3 Russell
#4 -
#5 Wideman
#6 Engelland
#6 Smid whose injuries have killed his year
#7 Diaz
#7 Schlemko
but now I think Wideman gets the 4 tag at worst.
Bottom line I agree its the 4/5 that needs upgraded, then you hope that guy pushes Russell for 3 at some point. That's why its a shame they didn't test drive Wotherspoon more around the all star break. Gioradano was healthy, and they had time. Now it's likely too late. He could have exceeded all other options for 4/5 and been Giordano's upward push replacement now.
