1. Who do you think will emerge as the Astros' 5th starter coming out of camp?

a. Dan Straily
b. Brad Peacock
c. Roberto Hernandez
d. Jake Buchanan
e. Mark Appel
f. Alex White
g. Wojo
h. Other (please name)

The Boulder found yesterday's performance of Straily (in the dirt), White (wide right) and The-Pitcher-Formerly-Known-As-Fausto-Carmona (meat ball) uninspired.

The Chronicle also mentioned that Sam Deduno is also in the running for the 5th spot. Both Deduno and Wojo have pitched well so far, albeit SSS.

Oberholtzer has a strained lat. Thus, the competition for the 5th spot might turn into the competition for the 4th and 5th spot, at least to start the season.
