Comparing Options for 5th Starter

Besides teaching the guys to pitch with a huge diamond ring on their finger, Chris Bosio and company have a 5th starter slot to fill (Wait, you don’t wear the World Series ring during the game? Oh, sorry, I’m new to this). The battle for the final rotation spot begins in just 19 days when pitchers and catchers report to Mesa. Last year’s debate included the likes of Kyle Hendricks, Adam Warren, and Trevor Cahill. In the event they would have gone outside the organization to fill the void, it could have cost a guy like Javy Baez or Jorge Soler.
