re: David Price

Except the reason he's there is so they can limit his innings to prevent injury. Too big of an inning jump from year to year is a huge precursor to arm injury and in Durham they can afford to send him out there for 3 innings just to get some work in, which would kill the bullpen if he was called up.

Price is only throwing about 4 innings an appearance, but still he threw almost 130 innings last year. It doesn't seem like asking him to go 150-180 this season would be too much of a task. You're not going to get better facing AAA competition.

As for Hanson at Gwinnett... 6 games, 32+ innings... = 5 1/3 innings per appearance. That's almost a quality start per game.
