I think moving guys like Aldrin Batista and Mathias LaCombe to relief roles in advance of R5 makes sense. Smith, Schultz and McDougal are basically their only hope for awhile at top of rotation arms. They must stay in rotation. 

How about  Vasil in rotation?  Of course taylor too, although I guess Bannister & Co. have injury concerns (so I've read).
Ma
ybe try Cannon in pen?

How about this for a thought.  Typically the best path to being an effective major league starter, is to start games as much as possible.  Are there exceptions?  Sure.  Are most starters brought to the majors as starters?  Also yes.

Another overslot 3 year college pitcher

Should move him to the pen, switch him to a 4 seam/cutter pitcher (should be hitting 97 with 92/93 on the cutter out of the bullpen) and have him kill righties. He's always been a good bit better against righties than lefties.
