This is the essence of it for me. Bring him up here this year and see if he can be effective and see how his stuff translates to the big hitters, instead of hitching the wagon to him in the off-season, without really knowing and risk having him fall flat on his face early on and once again have very little in the way of a backup plan. If he really is better than two thirds of this rotation right now, then what the hell are we waiting for? Albers too, give him the stage, the warm-up band has been on long enough, nobody's really all that interested anyway.
