Because he's been solid. We're losing Buehrle and Price out the rotation, why not stabilize him if AA can get him on a team friendly contract like he's done with EE and Bautista in the past? If he can preform anywhere near this year it would be great, but I wouldn't rely on him as a front of the line pitcher, but more of a back end stabilizer. With Marcus heading the rotation and Marco + Dickey rounding it out, we'd have to fill in with 2 great starters and we'd be set. Unless we really want to experiment with Osuna/Sanchez. We have Hutchison too, but we need more reliable options at this point.
