The plan that makes sense is, more or less, unless he's on the DL, Cole starts as Aspenbubba says for 4 - 6 weeks at the start of the season. Next man up is Fedde. That doesn't pan out, maybe there's Ross. Edwin Jackson is in the mix, too. More important than the 5th starter is keeping Scherzer and Strasburg healthy and getting Gio and Roark right. If the front 4 are fine, then we can see what shakes out at #5, and scrounge at the deadline for our upgrade for the playoffs.
