If so, count me in - if Death means "next in line for a big league slot."
I adore Paxton - I liked him in college and he was a monster in the minors.  He's only getting better.
But Hultzen has the arsenal to succeed in the pros even if he loses the feel for a pitch or two occasionally.  
If he can come out of the blocks with his hair on fire, so be it.  We're better off for it.  I still expect at least one of them to go down for at least a few weeks to preserve a year of free agency (especially since we didn't with Pineda), but you can't run Tony Vasquez out there if Hultzen is nuking hitters left and right.
We may have to get a decent free agent pitcher in here in order to justify keeping Hultzen and Paxton in the minors long enough to wring an extra year out of them, and a cheaper one.
Can we add that to the cost analysis?
