Ivan Nova chance for rotation spot

Ivan Nova has had a weak spring. He has a five game 6.86 ERA in the Grapefruit League this spring. This puts him in last among the others fighting for the five spots in the starting rotation for 2012. It doesn't look good for Nova but he did have 16 wins last year. Looking on last year's performance he should be with the club. I personally like him and hope he makes the rotation. It will be a tough decision for Joe Girardi. I think it will be CC, Kuroda, Phil Hughes, Michael Pineda, and Freddy Garcia. The reason for this is Nova can play in Triple A until he is needed for any reason such as an injury or if someone is under performing.
