Linty - assuming health, you'll get 30 -40 extra innings out of Strasburg and probably another 30 - 40 innings of Detwiler as a starter.  Det only has gone 104 innings, 91  as a starter. Figuring he pitches the rest of the way, should max out at about 160 innings / 145 as a starter.   It is probably safe to say that that inning total could be bumped up to 185 starting next year.  Those two moves replace 80 innings of Jackson's at probably an upgrade.  What you will need to replace is another 100 innings of Jackson and 50 innings of Wang and Lannan.

usually, there are starters who somehow miscalulate the FA market and are available in January and February. That's probably your Jackson replacement, unless he signs here reasonably.
