Best Rotation in the IBC for 2008

Give me your top five pitchers and then #6 (in case of injury) for 2008 and I will rank them by next week. Back from vacation and no class until next week, I don't have much to do this week so I figure I'll take Z"s idea with the hitters and run with it for pitchers.

So I want 1-5, and then #6 - #6 wont' be weighed as heavily but it's an added bonus if you have depth.

Troy Patton
James McDonald
Anthony Swarzak

Wade LeBlanc/Gaby Hernandez

I definitely need some help from the projections if this is going to be an effective rotation this year, but it's looking good for the future.
