Assessing the Orioles' options for the fifth starter to begin the season

All that’s left to be settled now publicly in terms of the Orioles’ pitching staff is who will serve as the fifth starter when the team first needs one on April 10, though we have some idea of who the candidates are.

There seem to be three players who through manager Buck Showalter’s usage and his words, are in the mix to be the fifth starter (if they don’t try to find one from outside the organization): Tyler Wilson, Vance Worley, and T.J. McFarland.

Wilson, of the whole group, probably had the best statistical spring.
