Gray cannot handle the lights/fans in New York but could do better on a small market team but he is no ace.  He would be a solid middle of rotation guy.  Keuchel wants a 5-6 year deal but is a lefty and has ace potential.  I just don't think the new management will want to make such a commitment after the Bailey deal.  With that said, I would not be opposed to a 4 year deal with Keuchel and bringing in Gray.  

Rotation would look something like this:

1-Keuchel
2-Wood
3-Gray
4-Disco
5-Roak

If Disco gets hurt than insert Castillo.

I'm still holding out hope that Disco or Castillo will turn into a solid starter. Hopefully both
