The Giants converted Jordan Hicks from a hard-throwing reliever into a starter and he has been great so far (currently ranks 26th in MLB in average Game Score). Johan Duran used to be a starter. Why not make him a starter again? The Twins have the second best bullpen in MLB so far this year without Duran. With Varland out for now and maybe done forever as a major league starter, seems like Duran would be a great option, and potentially become an ace. I understand it would take a while to stretch him out. I am just a fan, not a pitching expert, so looking for thoughts from others who understand pitching more than me.
