1.   Collins is already planning ahead to the five-game series against the Yankees, trying to set his rotation.

2.   If Piniella were able to set his rotation properly, you might have to face Randy Johnson twice.

3.   Maybe manager Art Howe and pitching coach Bob Cluck will take the hint, waiting until the end of spring before they set their rotation in stone.

4.   So can the Braves and the Cardinals, but Torre declined to set his rotation for the World Series.

5.   The Braves can set their rotation for the St. Louis Cardinals or the Arizona Diamondbacks, saving Greg Maddux for Tuesday and Tom Glavine for Wednesday.

6.   Tracy also set his rotation for the rest of the season.

7.   New York manager Joe Torre set his rotation so Clemens and David Cone, another former Cy Young winner, would pitch on the road.
