This award is a joke but can you really blame Stroman? He's been told he won't make it as a starter because of his height probably his whole professional career, when you're constantly proving people wrong you're allowed to be a little cocky.
I strongly disagree with the last part, you want your best hitters coming up to the plate as much as possible, moving them down in the order prevents the team from maximizing his PA.
The rotation hasn't really been downgraded though, at the very least Estrada = Happ and Norris is better than both, we might have lost a bit of depth but it's not like we're lacking SP depth in the minors.
