I still think Castillo has good enough stuff to be a #2 minimum. Agree on Harvey, I think he gives the team a discount because he likes being in Cincy. Current projection for next year's rotation would be:

Disco
Castillo
Harvey
Romano
Mahle

Lets get Kershaw   

And you're forgetting homer. Do they eat 28 million plus in salary? I am not sure. And the Harvey situation is really simple IMO: Does he help you with your next pennant race? If the answer is yes, then do it. If the answer is no, I don't see any reason to pay him around 5-10 million dollars when you can give that to a younger, cheaper guy that could be apart of the next good club. Personally, I think this team is at least 2-3 years away from competing at a high-level.
