It took a while, but most of the rotations have stabilized. Of course, there will still be injuries and minor league call-ups, but that's what the best-in-the-business Probable Pitchers grid is for. There are times they know who is going to take the hill before the actual managers, or so it seems.

As usual, the rotations are pulled from the most recent updated, though there will still be changes so please check the final rankings Monday morning. In case you missed it, the Discussion section is back and I'm always happy to address rankings questions.
