Beavan is a 80+ ERA pitcher who will have a 100-110 season, eventually. Or two.
But the question is (and has been all season) when are Hultzen and Walker throwing in Safeco and THEN what do you do with your back end guys?
You know, at some point talent demands a trial. Hultzen and Walker passed that point a while back.
And I still remained confused at Wedge's dislike for using Iwakuma. I don't get it. He basically gets people out (or has in his limited appearances) and fans 7+ of them.
Give him a start.
I would keep Beavan around for a few seasons, as a long guy and spot starter, but right now, if he has to head to Tacoma to make room for for the Jackson Duo, so be it.
Let's go.
