Yesterday's action illustrated the odd mechanics of the fifth starter competition—both Kyle McClellan and Rich Hill impressed, but no matter what McClellan does, he's a right-handed relief candidate and Rich Hill is a lefty in a bullpen with two of them under contract. If Rich Hill becomes the fifth starter they'll both break camp as Cardinals; if McClellan does it will be interesting. (Pete Parise, at least, has not yet wilted under my suggestion that he might be future-McClellan.)
