[QUOTE="gt24, post: 802546, member: 538"] This post is 100% logical and reasonable. I agree that we have plenty of experience coming back. If it were just a matter of integrating Coleman, I'd agree with you entirely. Yet my view is that there are many more lineup/rotation questions to be answered in Nov/Dec than one would expect with so much experience returning. First, lineup/rotation decisions exist at each "position" (to the extent that those still exist) as demonstrated by your list. Even more challenging than that is the "position" flexibility of so many of these guys. (Great "challenge" to have.) My inclination to schedule easy OOC isn't so much a fear of not being able to compete with P6 or MM, it is a desire to avoid getting stuck or boxed in with a 7/8-man rotation too early in the season with so many great pieces on the roster. I may be over-stating or inflating that concern, but seems to me Pastner is very conservative with lineup/rotation experimentation by nature, so an easy OOC schedule could give him more freedom. I'm not one of those clamoring for an unrealistic 10/11-man rotation. I'm mostly a believer in 8-man (or 8.5) rotations once things get settled. But with the talent and flexible pieces on the roster, I'd want more room to experiment throughout Nov/Dec games. [/QUOTE]
