Shapiro explained his approach to me Friday night: “We obviously had multiple holes to fill in our pitching staff, and our front-office team felt diversifying the risk among multiple pitchers who could start was important, both due to our need at the (major-league) level and our lack of Triple-A depth starting pitchers.”
multiple pitchers who could start could suggest that they don't see chavez and happ as necessarily being part of the rotation. but
stroman
estrada
dickey
happ
chavez
hutchison
means they now have 6 who could start. so, ya, this is probably it.
