Let him dominate in relief for a month or two mid-season before sliding him into the rotation. It gets him contributing quickly while still managing his work load. It's the way the team handled Pineiro and it worked out great. I don't get why it isn't done more often. It doesn't have to be like with Morrow where the thought of moving him between the bullpen and rotation was a giant, agonizing decision for the organization. Just slide him back and forth based on the circumstances as was done with Joel in 2001 and beginning of '02.
