6-Man Rotation

What's a worse reason to use a 6 man rotation:
A) Chicago White Sox using a 6-man rotation because they had 6 real starting pitchers
B)  Kansas City Royals going to a 6-man rotation with Kyle Davies came off the DL
C)  boston red sox using a 6-man rotation instead of just cutting Andrew Miller

I can almost understand the White Sox reasoning, because atleast all of their options were major league quality, but when Andrew Miller with his 1:1 K/BB rate or Kyle Davies with his career ERA over 5.50, it makes me think that managers are just crazy.  Even the White Sox could have sent a struggling John Danks down to the minors, or put him on the DL (where he eventually ended up).
