WTH 25-Man Roster - Lefty Starter

As posted over the weekend, 1B Jonathan Singleton was the second player picked for the WTH roster.  Go here for more info on the What the Heck 25-Man Roster.

Today, let's pick a Lefty Starter.  As I did with our first right-handed starter, I picked only lefties used primarily as starting pitchers who had a minimum of 120 IP for full-season teams and a minimum of 50 IP for short-season teams.  I included Xavier Cedeno even though he was converted to a reliever later in the season because he was very effective as a starter and even though he is currently at the major league level.  If any player on the WTH roster makes the MLB club out of Spring Training, we will replace that player.

With that said, we don't have as many choices, but they are all worthy of the WTH 25.  I was able to see several of Keuchel's starts on MiLB.tv and I was immediately struck by his composure on the mound.  He seems very much in control.  On paper I am quite impressed with Kyle Hallock's performance.  Van Hekken had good results with his 9-6 record.  And, as stated earlier, Cedeno was quite good as a starter at Corpus before he made the switch to relief.  Not an easy task, but please look over the numbers and vote.
