The thing is you tend to always start out young pitchers in the Pen to limit their work loads and their innings.... look at what the Dodgers did with
Billingsly and the yanks are going to be doing with Joba to start off this year again....
That was the plan with Yovanni Gallardo after Cappy got back from injury.... use him in the Pen until probably August... then have him start the final month and a half or so... not having to worry about inning restrictions. That all changed when Sheets went down.
The Thing is with CV... he does not have the stuff that our other pitchers did..... so the Bullpen was the option for him...
Vargas has better stuff than CV...well at least a better Fastball...and I think his breaking ball is better to...
Bush is #3 or so Ceiling guy... and while he does not have an overpowering Fastball tops out at 91... he does have decent other pitches and has excellent k/bb rate
So what did you want to see happen.....
this year I think CV should get his shot in the rotation along with Cappy... and Parra should be in triple A...just to limit his innings and strenghten his arm... I want him to be able to come up around the Break and give us another great SP option to go along with Sheets and Yo...
