Santana would be your #2.

No, I'm not.
Lance Lynn: 3.75 xFIP
Shelby Miller: 3.35 xFIP
Ervin Santana: 3.50 xFIP
You could make an argument that Santana would be the number 3, but his WAR is actually less than Lynn.
It's quite likely that the Cardinals do with Wacha/Martinez what the Rays did with Matt Moore two years ago. It's a damned sight better option than Westbrook/Kelly.
