The Reader situation will have to be monitored.  How they deal with him and FA will be a telling sign.  If he's expected to miss significant time, I can see them signing a stop-gap vet on a one-year deal to cover for, then rotate with him.  I can't see him getting a multi-year deal and them drafting a NT day 1 or 2 to rotate.
