Gooooood stuff Matt. I think we are all seeing the same things on Erasmo. Was thinking the same thing about his "good" relief appearance -- even there it took him some time to work up a sweat.
There is an argument for Earl Weavering a rookie, but certain guys are just extreme starters. You wouldn't bullpen Greg Maddux under any circumstances. Jamie Moyer. Erasmo Ramirez.
Probably an SSI poll would run 90%: get him into the rotation either here or in Tacoma. Tacoma would be just fine if necessary: he has taken a seat at the $500 table, has seen it, and now can go digest it.
PAINful to watch a Jamie Moyer try to relieve.
