Who's Number 5?
That is the question. Who is the number 5 starter? With Hudson, Glavine, Smoltz, and maybe Hampton going for the first 4 slots, this looks like one strong rotation. Reyes is still a work in progress. Jurrjens needs a little more seasoning, but looks really good. Bennett impressed last year, but can he do it year? I don't like him taking over a spot, but I would not disagree if he was number 5. I think Chuck James could best be suited for the number 5, because he's been pitching in the majors for over 2 years. He has Glavine like qualities of pitching. However, I think we will have a right handed pitcher as our number 5, because Cox likes to have 3 right handers, and 2 left handers.
What do you think? Who will be our number 5?

I would find it very difficult to bet against Jurrjens, who has really impressed Bobby throughout spring training. Jair has velocity and control, which is a huge asset going into the Major Leagues.
Reyes has been sent down so he's out of the running.
James will begin the year on the disabled list. He has proven that he can and can't make it in the major leagues.
Bennett is good but hasn't completely proven he has major league stuff.
Good Post Corey
Oh yeah check out my blog and tell me what you think

cc, I have told you before. Please do not link to your blog. I appreciate you commenting here, but advertising like this is not helping you.
You make a good point with Jurrjens, and I agree with you on Bennett.
Didn't know that about James.
My bad just wanted YOU to take a look
delete my comment if you want
James was scheduled to start today but instead threw on the side a few days to go.
Jo-Jo Reyes needs a lot of work, but I think Bennett just needs a bit more time in the minors.I feel he will be brought up some time during the season, maybe as late as september.
I'm not going to delete it. You showed me in your last comment on the old blog I used to do.
Yeah, but he's not on the DL though. I saw he was scheduled to go for his next start.
This is easy, JAIR JURRJENS!!!Bobby Cox has basically said that Jurrjens is going to make the team. He said that the rotation for the first week is going to be Hudson, Glavine, Jurrjens, then Hampton.
True. I'll agree with that D'Andre.
