Oh c'mon, seriously? The logic on some of the stuff coming out of the end of camp is so backwards I don't even know what to say. You like the idea of a 6 man starting staff for Santana's sake (arguable, but fine...), so you bring in a guy who hasn't been healthy in half a decade to be that 6th starter, at some point indefinitely into the future!? Why wouldn't you sign another legit starter in the offseason, knowing there is absolutely 0 starting depth in this org beyond the top 5, if thats what you wanted!?

What legit starter would come here without being promised a role on a Major League staff? Further, what legit starter would choose to be part of a 6 man rotation?

Just checking the sidebar, I thought the contrast here was pretty funny:

DPLennon Here's Chris Young, throwing off a mound, looking like he never left.

KBurkhardtSNY Chris Young throwing a bullpen. I'm no pitching coach but his delivery looks different.
Yeah I can't tell if thats a "he looks horrible" statement from KB or a "He looks so much more free and easy" statement. KB usually leans positive, but I assume he would've been more obviously so if it was meant as a compliment.

Jesus Sandy.
Best justification for a 6-man rotation is to *exclusively* help Santana and Young, keeping them fresh and fooling teams into trading for either of them at the deadline.
