I don't know unless it is a keeper Price in so unproven and they will probably reduce his load. I'm just not a rookie SP guy I think I would take Unit's 15-20+ starts if he is healthy and walk but if it is a keeper it is whole different story.

Yeah 14 innings of relief work is real proven. You just never know with these young guys. Tell me what were the top major league pitching prospects stat lines last year at the end of the season (Kershaw and Scherzer). Now batting is a different story. Now I could be eating my words but take the risk it may pay off but then again if and that is a big if Unit can stay healthy he may put up 10-12 wins and you can even promise that many starts for Price.

In my 20 team keeper? I'd prefer the young guys (and I have Price+Zimmermann).

In my 12 team redraft? Give me Randy Johnson's Ks. Sorry, he's still got it, especially against crappy offenses. I also have Scherzer+Kershaw, but wouldn't touch the young guys until proven.

It may have been 14 innings but he did pitch under some pretty good pressure in the playoffs. And did pitch the clincher.

Relief <> Starting. He only has two plus plus pitches at the moment (more than enough to be an awesome closer). He needs to develop a third to be a starting ace, though I think he's more than capable of putting up a 3.8-4.0 ERA at the moment.
