Back Door Four?

Redleg Nation points out that Cincinnati is using a four-man rotation this spring. They're trying the pitchers competing for the five slot as the 2nd pitcher in (so they're all on a four-man rotation as well).

I wonder if this is a way to try to get the staters used to the idea of a four-man rotation? The Reds tried it in 2003 and in some ways it worked. Maybe they are thinking of experimenting again?

If I were Randolph, I'd try to get another SP & try a 6 man rotation after the early days off. There's no bullpen & all 5 SPs are pushing 40 (figuratively in Pedro's case), recovering from surgery or both.
