I have heard that the only reason he stayed is that he was promised to be given a starting position. It was excruciating seeing him as a starter, but if he is happy in bullpen, I am ecstatic. That gives us a solid starting rotation and even more solid bullpen. Now if we can just get SOME prosecution out of the bottom third of our lineup, we can show why we were pre-season #1.

I can't tell you how much I disagree with this IF it is true.

I mean we've had some injuries, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's been criminal.

Finally. This will give some stability to the pitching staff and will more than likely roll over into the batting aspect..

3 starters hopefully going through the 5th..then you have Peterson and Hess for 8 & 9..just need 6 outs from the rest of the staff for 6th & 7th inning..

This should’ve been done from the get-go but like posters above said about him coming back and being promised a weekend starter position..I get it but he’ll make his money in the pro’s by being able to get 3 outs..

Sorry but Hess was told and the PR move is he is fine with it. Hess did not choose.
