And I would start Erasmo in place of Noesi next start too.
I'm leaning toward 18 months for Noesi, and I'd give him 70-100 innings in the pen this year, then worry about stretching him out for next year if necessary. He's got a really interesting arm. I just don't think he's ready right now - and Erasmo is.
Erasmo can go 170 starting in 5 days. He's exactly what I thought he was, and I want him in the rotation. It's just weird to me that we have so much talent around, and so much of it isn't included in the major league staff.
Are we really prepping that hard for next year? The offense is showing up this year...can't we compete this year AND next?
C'mon Jack...do me a solid. Be really agile.
