Starting rotation set

For those that haven't followed scrimmages, do we know who is and isn't healthy pitching-wise? I assume Ligon isn't healthy if he's not starting somewhere in the rotation.
Both Ligon & Lofton have seen limited action this spring due to some health issue.
This should be good for a while. The guys in long Relief have to push them. There is always a surprise pitcher down the stretch.
Over/under on Stephens' parents being Game of Thrones fans?
There’s a lot that’s concerning. Like the ERA these 3 had last year. 4+, 5+, and 8+.
4+ and 5+ ERA’s on a team basis were top half of the SEC in 2023. It’s a different game now. Not going to be a lot of teams or individual pitchers with sub-4 ERA’s anymore.
Loftin had 28 walks in 26 innings. Not someone I want to run out there as a starter.
Era's in the 4 are pretty much what you are looking for.
Tenn, vandy, Ark, Auburn, South Carolina, LSU, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida-- ALL had 2 starters in that range. Thats they key and very do-able.
6 out of 14 teams in the SEC had a worse ERA than our #2 starter had in the much weaker Big 10. 4 of those 6 teams missed the NCAA tournament.
