As much as I like Humber, I'm not going to feel super comfortable about him in that 5th slot until I see him come out and put up 3-4 starts of the quality he put up early in the year last year...

 

Between the number of IP being way over his career high, and his performance after he got some rest with his injury, I feel much better about Humber coming into this year. He should be a guy who can put up league average numbers, which is what we want out of him as 5th starter.

league average numbers out of the 5th starter position would be stellar, btw.

Voted Molina as he is the closest to a 'can't miss' prospect within the bunch. Stewart is bullpen material as stated by Cooper, and rest willl have to outpitch Molina for the starter job.

Agreed.
