Todd Wellemeyer, Kevin Pucetas Battle for Fifth Spot with San Francisco Giants

Brian Sabean’s drafting and construction of pitching depth in the organization has set manager Bruce Bochy up to be a very lucky man.

His biggest decision at the culmination of spring training? To decide on who gets the fifth spot in the rotation.

The two most likely contestants to win that spot have been narrowed down to free-agent acquisition Todd Wellemeyer and homegrown pitching prospect Kevin Pucetas.

Both candidates have been the best two Giants pitchers this spring, and have combined for 19 innings pitched and a minuscule three earned runs allowed—an ERA of 0.92. 

Their performance has been unreal, but the decision will be a tough one.
