Why would you not want him as a starter?


For same reason Rivera was not a starter for the Yankees and will be in Hall of Fame as the best reliever of all time.

You must have a solid starting rotation in college to get to Omaha. You can get by with two studs and one serviceable Sunday starter. It's pointless to have a stud closer if we don't have the lead in the 9th inning.

If Hess can make the transition to starter, then that's where he needs to be. It's not a coincidence we made it this far this season with Lange, Poche and Walker.

Mariano Rivera threw 1 pitch, a cutter, 99.99% of the time.

He wouldn't have been dominant as a starter.
