Keller is probably somewhere in between the guy he was last year and the guy he was the year before that. Which is pretty good.
Hernandez hasn't been good this spring and I don't think will have a long leash. We'll see if they slot Singer in there. I think Lynch gets the nod for 5th starter when the turn comes up, with Singer transitioning to the pen full time.
This is the benefit of having pitching depth, finally, amongst prospects. If one dude doesn't work out, you aren't screwed.

Sorry, but Boob Itch hasn't proven shit. Spring training doesn't mean anything. We seen pitchers/batters dominate spring training only to turn into a pumpkin when the real games start. In Boob Itch's case, he couldn't even get out of the inning. That's why he doesn't deserve the 3rd spot. He needs to be the 5th or the Frankie Morales pitcher until he fixes his own shit.
