Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette indicated Friday that Rule 5 selection T.J. McFarland will head to spring training with a chance to compete for a spot in the team's rotation.
The Orioles have built up solid depth for their rotation, and have a plethora of legitimate candidates to earn the final rotation spots. While the 23-year-old lefty is unlikely to win that battle, he could find a role as a swingman, or left-handed specialist out of the bullpen.
