Decision on No. 5 starter could come on Monday
3/17/16: Vince Velasquez strikes out Logan Forsythe to end the threat in the top of the 5th inningRight-hander Vince Velasquez and left-hander Adam Morgan are the finalists. Velasquez is scheduled to pitch Monday afternoon against the Blue Jays in Dunedin. Morgan is set for Tuesday afternoon's contest against the Yankees at Bright House Field. The Phillies might make the decision before those outings.
It is believed Velasquez has been the favorite from the start, although general manager Matt Klentak has said Velasquez's status as the key piece in the Ken Giles trade in December will play no role in his chances to make the team.
