Astros: Don’t count out Peacock in competition for 5th Spot

The widely accepted assumption is that Collin McHugh will come out of the bullpen to join Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole in the Astros’ starting rotation. Wade Miley was recently acquired to possibly fill in at the fourth spot. This sets up for a fierce competition for the fifth and final spot. Although everyone will have their eyes on Josh James, Forrest Tucker and a few of the other prospects, don’t forget about Brad Peacock.

There’s at least one person that hasn’t counted out Peacock, and that person is Brad Peacock.
