Well, Straily and Appel were sent down so the 5th starter question now boils down to Hernandez, Wojo and Deduno per the Chron. I think it's almost assured to be Hernandez unless he gets blown up in the next few weeks. Call it a Faustian deal but the Astros can't really let this guy go or he'll get grabbed by other teams with more pressing needs. That may mean offering Deduno on the waiver wire and I could live with that.
