Fernando Nieve is gunning for the 5th spot.
Cecil Cooper says:
"Where is his opportunity? You can always move a guy from the rotation to the bullpen. This [the rotation] is where his chance is."
Remember, Nieve is out of options, so it's either Houston or waivers.
"That's why [general manager] Ed [Wade] keeps hollering that it's high noon."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
