Can't be Erasmo (no options, unlikely to slip through waivers, so I expect him to be dumped for a low-a middle infielder with no power or OBP).
Pries is probably the king of the immediate 6th starters we already have on hand.  Hultzen will be there too, as you mentioned, but night need to work back into game shape. Sam Gaviglio will likely be in AAA, as Victor Martinez could be if we have the rotation spot free to bump him up.  We'll also likely add a rehabbing vet on a cheapy contract with an out if he doesn't make the big-league roster after May-Something, much as we've done in the past (assuming Germano doesn't work out).
Not the greatest #6 options, and certainly not as sexy as Walker was supposed to be last year before his shoulder thing.  But we could do worse - and have, in years past, done much worse.
Let's just hope Hultzen roars outta the gate - and the major league rotation does the same.
