Tommy is looking good indeed.

When Wash said that only Milwood and Feldman are locks for the rotation next year, is he just trying to motivate the youngsters? Barring an epic meltdown or injury, how has Tommy not earned a spot?

Open competition is always good

I have no qualms that Tommy will make the rotation next year. I love the fact that Feliz has to duke it out with Harrison, McCarthy, Nippert for the 5th spot (I expect Holland to start as camp breaks too).

Or are you not talking about the actual team, but just your sole talking point night after night?
