When a guy struggles to go four or five innings per start in AAA and his ERA since his last demotion is over 8, why would you promote him to the major league squad? I mean, he's not entitled to the job is he? Doesn't he have to earn that promotion through performance? I don't know what's going on with Elias but there is a good chance that Nuno is just a better SP than he is right now. I certainly wouldn't dump the guy and Lloyd's comments about him aren't probably going to help him out but he said similar things about Walker last year and that didn't hurt him at all.
