That's kind of my point is that I think you'd have to know what makes them tick to have an idea at how and when tobring them along. Not just what they need to work on, though that's a big part of it too. Things like how they respond to adversity, how ready they are for the spotlight and probably multiple things I wouldn't even come up with.
I wasn't saying not to go after a Marcum or anyone else, always figured there was room for 2 more. I don't know that anyone is "ready"either, just noodling with a thought in the post.
Beaven could still be more than anyone is crediting him for as well. Was he trying different things late in the year or maybe it was just fatigue. His pitch velocities were all over the place the last month plus on all his pitches.
