We know that the front of the Tampa Bay Rays starting rotation is set. Chris Archer, Alex Cobb, and Jake Odorizzi will be leading the staff, and if Cobb is healthy, that is a very good trio. Blake Snell will likely hold down the fourth spot in the rotation. That leaves the fifth spot up for grabs, a spot that could well go to any of the Rays exciting pitching prospects.
And yet, Matt Andriese may well be the front runner for the fifth starter spot. He has already proven his worth in the Majors, posting a decent 4.
