Should Forrest Whitley take the Astros open rotation spot?
As most of you know, it was recently announced that Josh James was the latest victim of “discomfort”. In reality, it was announced that he had strained his quad muscle, and in the best case scenario, would now be fortifying the bullpen instead of taking over the 5th rotation spot to start the year.
Coinciding with that, there’s been a bit of a vocal uprising that Forrest Whitley should be in the MLB. I can see some aspects of both sides of the argument. I mean he is the #1 Pitching Prospect in all of baseball. So before we make any hasty decisions, let’s take a step back and look at who Forrest Whitley is.
