Latos Won’t Be Handed Starting Spot
There will be some heavy competition for the fifth spot in the Padres’ rotation. “We’ve got much more pitching depth than we’ve had,” said Padres manager Bud Black, who will have to choose between Mat Latos, Wade LeBlanc, Cesar Ramos, Tim Stauffer and Sean Gallagher. It’s worth noting that Stauffer and Gallagher are out of options, although the latter will almost certainly stick around in the bullpen if he doesn’t make the rotation. (Rotoworld)
