Manager Dave Trembley told Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com that there will be competition for the fifth spot in the rotation, possibly leaving Chris Tillman in the minors to start the season.
"Tillman is going to be a great young pitcher," said Trembley. "But things happen. Unfortunately, guys get hurt or the 12 pitchers you start the season with on your pitching staff usually aren't the 12 that you end up with. There are things that happen throughout the season. So we'll see what happens in spring training. We'll try to get guys in as many games as we can, give them innings, and may the best 12 go with us." Kevin Millwood, Jeremy Guthrie, Brad Bergesen and Brian Matusz figure to have the first four spots in the rotation, while Tillman, Jason Berken, David Hernandez, Troy Patton and Jake Arrieta will at least get a look during camp. Tillman, who turns 22 in April, posted a 5.40 ERA in 12 starts with the Orioles last season. We still think he'll start the season with the Orioles, but it's a storyline worth watching.
