Houston Astros' 2016 Rotation

By: Jordan Smith

The Houston Astros' 2016 Pitching situation is one that all teams should be jealous of. Why exactly do you think I am saying this? This is because the Houston Astros by far have the best Starting Rotation and Bullpen in all of Major League Baseball.

The Astros' Starting Rotation consists of 8 pitchers who all should and deserve a spot in the rotation. The only problem is that there are 5 spots in the Rotation. So, who gets those 5 spots you ask? Here's what the Rotation looks like right now.

Starting Rotation:

1. Dallas Keuchel

2. Collin McHugh

3. Doug Fister

4. Lance McCullers

5. Mike Fiers, Brad Peacock, Wandy Rodriguez, Scott Feldman

That number 5 spot has four pitchers fighting for the last spot in the rotation. That is a pretty healthy competition right there if you ask me. In my opinion, Mike Fiers will most likely win the last spot in the Starting 5 to make it the most prolific starting rotation in all of Baseball. Wandy and Scott will most likely be sent to the bullpen where they will be long relievers and Brad Peacock will most likely be sent to Triple A after Spring Training.
