Towers pitching well enough to stay in the 5 spot would be a remarkable turnaround from last season...which in fact was a remarkable turnaround from the year before, so I do s'pose anything is possible.
No. Towers will be better than last year but I'm not sure he can stay in an AL rotation for a complete season. By year end, I fully expect Janssen, Zambrano and possibly McGowan in the Jays rotation.
Towers 'seems' to be pitching with a chip on his shoulder, which I find brings good results to a player who otherwise has no motivation to go out and play.
So I predict that Towers will be a 15 game winner and will NOT don a Sky Chiefs jersey this season.
Last year his bad performance rolled like a snowball and cant be stopped
Hopefully with a clean slate this year, he can be an above average pitcher again
