Is pitcher Homer Bailey still a contender for a spot in the rotation?
-- Greg J., Maineville, Ohio
As of now, his name is in the mix for the fifth starter spot. Bailey, a former top prospect, should have been a fixture in the rotation by now. It's a sign of how much things have changed that he is only one of several candidates for the last spot. Often resistant to mix in offspeed pitches, Bailey found out how hittable his low-to-mid-90s fastball was in the Majors.
