Wow...your argument is Hutch has a better track record. He does, a better track record of all time sucking. Ricky Jr belongs in AAA maybe even AA with the way he pitched last year.
I think I will start this year with a clean slate. So it might take me a little longer to start the thread this season. Not having Sanchez as the 5th starter would be strike one though.. .
It's clear the new regime is focused on getting younger while still competing. Building the system through prospects. If it works it can save money for big time FAs, but following last year it's probably not the best approach to take right away.
A lot of people in the organization believe he will be a reliever long term. They think setup or closer will be his best position for us. I don't aggree, but if true that might explain why.
