The battle for the 4th and 5th spots in the Blue Jays rotation has currently come down to 5 pitchers; John Thomson, Tomo Ohka, Casey Janssen, Josh Towers, and Victor Zambrano. Each of these pitchers comes with a question mark heading into the season.

Thomson, Ohka, and Zambrano are coming off injuries last season, with Zambrano actually ahead of schedule after major surgery last season. Janssen is only entering his second season at the major league level, part of first season was spent in the minors, so it not really known if he's ready for full time status. We don't really need to mention the struggles that Josh Towers endured last season. It will be interesting to see how this battle plays out over the next week and change.
