He's like night and day compared to when he starts, and is far too valuable to use as just an average 5 inning starter.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well, I wouldn't use tonight as that example though. He got out a guy that came in batting .169 against lefties and then started that mess which Marmol came into with a single and walk allowed.

But hasn't he also allowed only 1 inherited runner to score so far this season? He's pretty average as a SP, and it seems to me that he is much more valuable in the pen. Maybe I'm putting to much into it.

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] I had a few more things to say and edited my post. Yeah, he has. He's been terrific. I don't think you're putting too much into it at all, it's more my worry of Hart for example in the rotation.
