"<b>We're going to need a sixth starting pitcher who can give us 15, 20 starts this year and maybe 25</b>," Piniella said.
That sixth man could open the season at Triple-A Iowa to allow him to stay on a starter's schedule and be stretched out, or it could be someone designated as the long man for the bullpen.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
