9-21-22 Reds vs Red Sox 6:40

I know this is an impossible thing to know but who do you all think will be the Reds' starting rotation come the beginning of the '23 season? DO you think it will be Lodolo, Greene, Ashcrafty , Overton, and Cessa or do you see someone else in the rotation?

If we're going with what is currently in house and no significant FA signings or trades I'd think that the rotation would break down like this:

Greene
Lodolo
Ashcraft
Anderson
Cessa

Overton would be 6th and a multi-inning caddy to young starters until an inevitable injury. If it were me I'd put Santillan back as a starter as well in AAA to start with the ability to place him back in the pen 2nd half if he sputters. Williamson, Stoudt, Dunn, etc. are my emergency depth guys.

Anderson would have to be a FA signing and I doubt very seriously they'll do that. He'll be 35 yrs old in Nov. He might get a minor league deal but I think Dunn in the rotation is a far better bet
