Pitching at Omaha and Wichita

With the KC pitching staff starting to shape up, I am trying to figure out what the Omaha and Wichita pitching will look like.  KC needs to build depth in top levels.  By May, at least 3 or 4 of these guys will be in KC due to injuries or down right awfulness (You may fill in the blank as to who fits into either category)

Omaha Starters
Bannister
Lumsden
Day
Hendrickson
Brazelton
Matt Wright (maybe AA?)

Omaha Bullpen
Brazelton
Standridge
Musser
Giron
W. Franklin
Ken Ray?
Cody Smith
Ed Yarnell?
Thought Ryan Braun would be the closer at start of 07.

Wichita Starters
Hochevar
Buckner
Cromer
Christenson
Pimental

Relievers
Plummer
Arthur Santos
Juan Cedeno
Lowery
DeHoyos

With Nunez, Bale, Nelson and Hudson on the DL and Elarton on the mend, there will be lots of movement in the first 2 months.  Looks like Bale will be the first pitcher to come off DL.  One of the relievers (Braun?) would probably come to Omaha.

It's impressive
how greatly improved the depth on this team is.  I do agree we will probably see a lot of these guys by May.  The back of our rotation is a little unstable at the moment.  Should be a fun year!  Go Blue!

Hopefully
Wright can start over Brazel Baby at Omaha and Hochevar can move quickly up there too.

I don't think it's horrible depth
But it's definitely not great.

its like a million interchangeable parts
We've got the market cornered on soft-tossing flyball pitchers, don't we?

is D.A.R.Y.L. May availible??
