By the time this article shows up next week, pitchers and catchers will have reported to spring training in Goodyear, Arizona. And how sweet it will be. Over the next few weeks I will look at a few spots where minor leaguers may be fighting for spots on the roster.
Today we will start out by looking at the fifth spot in the rotation. It would appear that the number one through four spots are locked up by Homer Bailey, Anthony DeSclafani, Brandon Finnegan and Scott Feldman. The Reds have recently agreed to a deal with Bronson Arroyo, though I’m sure that anyone in the organization would much rather one of the young kids win the spot as it would show that they were more ready to handle the job.
