The key for me is Hutch. Was this year a bump, or a new reality. Prior to this year he was considered a big part of the rotation. If he gets his form back then
Stroman
Estrada
Dickey
Hutch
Sanchez
Isn't a bad rotation. I know people are down on Dickey right now - but over the course of a full season he's probably better than a lot of other #3 guys.
The key is can you actually re-sign Estrada. What is his appetite to stay? How much do you believe he can sustain this year going forward. If you answer that question wrong you could lock yourself into a very bad deal.
