Especially if Tommy Hanson works his way into the rotation by the fall. With Hudson and Hanson in, who goes to the bullpen? Do you really put Tom Glavine and Kawakami in the bullpen? Injuries and maybe a few disappointing performances could take care of the problem, but what if Glavine is having a decent year and the other four starters are performing about as expected? I just can't see Bobby Cox moving Glavine to the bullpen to finish his career if he is pitching well. But, it would also be awfully hard to send Vazquez, Jurrjens or Kawakami to the bullpen if they are pitching as expected.
