On Kelley, SSI is *never* going to be able to represent that he was a blog 'discovery' a la Tuiasosopo or somebody. Everybody likes Kelley.
And if you are saying that you have no doubts about Kelley's success in the rotation, are just concerned about the IP leap and his health, point taken - I think you're alone in that, but could be wrong.

IP leap is a legit thing to talk about, but it's nothing to carry as an absolute. Anybody who converts to SP, like Feldman or Wainwright, is going to violate the IP Leap principle.
We can't just say that nobody ever gets to convert, right?
Still, if the M's were to convert Kelley, they might want to convert him in mid-May, or run him as a 5-6 inning guy this year.
