As you know, I am in the camp that believes that all MLB pitchers should start off in the bullpen as long-men, with some spot starts, and, with rare exceptions, only enter the regular rotation no earlier than their 23rd birthday. Since Pedro was so in love with super prospect David Price, why not do it right now?

Incredible story
He’s really not striking out as many as I thought he was. The K/9 would be higher had his games come in 1-2 inning stints, but a guy with that much scouting love should be more dominating, IMO. I don’t know if FIP works as well for minor leaguers, but Fangraphs has his at 4.03.
