Lincoln out of 5th spot race

Leake: 0.00 ERA, five scoreless innings and six strikeouts.
Wood: 1.29 ERA,Wholesale Milwaukee Brewers Hats, five walks and six strikeouts.
Who do you like? I don’t do the “if the season started today” stuff because it doesn’t start today. Anything can happen between now and April 5,cheap Monster Energy Hats, but it’s getting harder for me to imagine that Chapman doesn’t get the spot if he keeps this up.
Here is the breakdown of the battle:

That leaves Matt Maloney,Wholesale Milwaukee Brewers Hats, Micah Owings Travis Wood,Cheap Parda Sunglasses, Justin Lehr, Kip Wells and of course Aroldis Chapman in the fifth starter race. 2009 first-round pick Mike Leake has been second-best behind Chapman but has no Minor League experience at all. Wells gave up four runs and four hits in two innings and didn’t help his remote chances. Justin Lehr has gotten no starts yet and no more than two innings of work. He worked two scoreless today.
Lehr: 4.26 ERA through 4 games
Maloney: 6.75 ERA through 3 games,MRIs rescheduled on Cano, Marte,Wholesale Atlanta Braves Hats, including one start,wholesale Famous stars Hats, with 4 BB and five Ks.
Wells: 6.00 ERA in four games.
Chapman: 1.29 ERA,Montreal Expos Hats, two walks and 10 strikeouts.
“We’re starting to narrow it down,Los Angeles Angels Hats,” Baker said. “We’re going back to have some meetings and try and determine who is who. It’ll probably go down to the wire, even if we have to use minor league games or ‘B’ games and things like that. As long as we get these guys their innings for endurance sake.”
Based on what we’ve seen so far,Feidi Sunglasses, Chapman and Wood should have the best chances.
No shock here — Mike Lincoln is out of the fifth spot battle. Manager Dusty Baker told Lincoln this morning that he is going back to the bullpen. Lincoln posted a 11.37 ERA in his three starts.
In his latest outing (and first start),Wholesale Hats, Chapman gave one hit and one run on a leadoff homer by Rickie Weeks with one walk and five strikeouts. Read about the start here.
