What will our starting rotation be in 2014? In 2016?
This picture may be an exact duplicate of a chart that could be in use by someone in the Pirates organization - okay, maybe just a janitor who's a bookie on the side and who wants to know the exact odds of a Pirates loss, but still, its possible.

[i] Estimated MLB service time on the first day of the 2011 season. Format is Y.DDD; the last three digits are NOT a percentage. The service time for 1st year MLB players (e.g., Argenis Diaz) are very estimated.
[ii] Number of options remaining on the first day of the 2011 season, where known.
[iii] I’m a casual fan – I’ve pretty much thrown darts when it comes to the starting pitchers. I also don’t believe in trying to predict either the set-up man or the closer, as these will likely be failed starters or out-of-the blue players until they are established relievers.
[iv] Dodson or Fuesser.
[v] Fortunately for this chart, these two were born within weeks of each other.
[vi] Not sure why, but Baseball-reference.com lists Ohlie as having four arbitration years.
