just want to make sure everyone's clear on this....
if he goes to the pen, its not because he isnt good enough to start, or that the other guys are better than him. its because he is 21 years old, and they see him as the future ace of the club. he has never pitched more than 150 innings in a season, and if he were to keep starting in the majors the rest of the year he would be at or over 200 for sure. so for that reason they dont want to over-use a young arm and risk damaging him for the future. its a smart move on their part, just sucks for us fantasy owners!
