1. Do you punt on 2013? Obvious answer to me: no!
2. When do you call up Nick Franlin? When it's the right time to call up Nick Franklin.
This reminds of the NFL team that really needs a QB ... so they get panicky and reach for Heath Shuler (or whomever) in the 1st round.
It's two different issues: "Who's our next QB?" and "Is high in the 1st round the right spot to take Health Shuler?"
Maybe "now" is the right answer to "When do you call up Nick Franklin?" but I don't think "because I really don't like Andino and Ryan" is part of the answer.
He hasn't had the PAs vs. LHP because he missed time with illness and because of the luck of the draw. It's not like they've been having him avoid lefties (as far as I can tell).
