May use this ok blog tomorrow. Who wins 5th starter spot on YOUR team? Warren? Rogers? Baker? Whitley? Other? Please explain

The New York Yankees re-signed Chris Capuano this season to
give the team some stability and a known commodity and insurance policy for the
2015 season, and then he went and got hurt and threw a monkey wrench into the
entire plan. With Capuano out the Yankees have hosted a fifth starter spring
competition that has showcased Esmil Rogers, Bryan Mitchell, Scott Baker and
Adam Warren vying for the spot in the rotation. If you look at and believe in
the stats you have one clear cut winner right now on paper in Warren and one
guy who has the veteran presence that Joe Girardi is always looking for in
Rogers. So who wins it? I know no more than everyone reading this (unless
Girardi or Brian Cashman are reading, hi guys) so I left it up to our Twitter
followers.
We do a lot of these because I truly believe in the SOCIAL
part of social media so if you’re reading this and you want to get involved
then follow us on Twitter by following @GreedyStripes. Below are what our
almost 3,000 followers think will and should happen regarding the fifth starter
job this season. Agree, disagree or if you feel like I left a candidate out
please let me know in the comments section below, enjoy!
@GreedyStripes Rogers has more experience and he's proven to be a reliable starter. Warren in the pen with Betances and Miller is too good.

@GreedyStripes warren. The others wouldn't be my 10th starter.

@GreedyStripes Rogers because he can always shift to the long man when Capuano returns. Warren is better as reliever.

@GreedyStripes If it's not going to be Bryan Mitchell, it should be Adam Warren. Has the arsenal & experience to be a very good 5th starter

@GreedyStripes I don't see anybody other than Warren taking that spot (at least to start the year)
