Steven White would likely be the first. Followed by Alan Horne, Jeff Marquez and by midseason Humberto Sanchez. All MLB ready, all with powerful arsenals (althought Marquez is more like Wang) unlike the soft tossing emergency guys we have now.

You said you have highly talented depth behind your rotation....were you talking about Igawa, Karstens, Rasner, White, Horne, Marquez, and Sanchez??
