The guy was leading the league in walks. He didn't have one bad game. He had several bad game , and what is worse is that he wasn't progressing except to get progressively worse. The kid was unraveling before our eyes with every additional start. His velocity was dropping and his command was getting worse. He had no clue what was wrong. The Sox did the best thing for him and the team.
As a succesful setup guy, he can have pretty long career. He will never make closer money or starter money, but as a mediocre to below average starter, his career would be very short.
It's official:
Unless Laser Show states that he was only joking that his selected date of June 6th was not meant to be for 3013, VA wins the pool!! Congrats VA!! but only conditionally.
