Well, just wondering thoughts on this pitching rotation.

I have: Westbrook, Pedro, Escobar, Vazquez going in a four man rotation with Buehrle making spot starts against appropiate teams/parks.

your thoughts on if this might work? Or should I continue to look at cutting/trading one of my * SP's?

Buehrle should be pitching every fourth day, not spot starting. If thats your plan you're better off cutting him and getting 2, maybe 3 specialists that will do the job you'd be asking Buehrle to do.

I'm sure you can find a trade taker for Buehrle, but if I were you I'd drop (or trade) Vazquez. You only need four * starters, and you're wasting salary doing otherwise. If you want to carry a hard lefty or righty to contend with certain divisional opponents, go for it in addition to your four man * rotation, but don't spend much $$ on 'em.

Westbrook was good for me. Someone you may consider to spot start would be Milton. He did well for me too.

I personally cant stand escobar so i would drop him burhle is real good he should start every 4th day not a bad idea to add some cheapy hard r/l or reverse guys like haren or lowry. one good way to add depth is to get spot starters who can also relieve
