Who's the Yanks #5 in the rotation?

Personally I like the concept of a 6 man rotation in limited sets to rest starters in a much more dangerous AL with the addition of Pujols and maybe even Prince Fielder. But for now, let's go with a rotation of
CC Sabbathia age: 31 lefty
Michael Pineda age: 23 righty
Hiroki Kuroda age: 36 righty
Ivan Nova age: 25 Righty
Nice blend of youth and Experience. A lot of power pitching at the top of the rotation. So let's look at the guys for "tryouts" All right handers
Phil Hughes Age 25
Freddy Garcia Age 36
AJ Burnett Age 35
I think I have to go with Phil Hughes. I think the Yanks need to know if this guy can come back to the 19 game winner he was just a couple seasons ago. We know who Garcia and AJ are, we don't know if Phil is done yet. He could very well be the guy that we imagined as the #2 in the rotation.
