I am wondering if we do what we did that last time with Javy. Skip him, put him in the pen for a game and get him back into the rotation. Worked great the last time, hopefully it works this time around.
BTW, very excited to see Nova. Here are the AAA numbers...
12-3 145IP 135H 46ER 48BB 115K 1.7GO/AO, 2.86ERA 1.26WHIP 7.1K/9IP
Solid numbers and continuing to improve significantly since May. He's always had very solid stuff, but his approach has been a problem. In previous seasons, he has pitched more to contact than going for the strikeout. Now, he's learning to continue to pitch to contact at times, but he is starting to learn how to put away hitters when needed. He isnt a finished product, but he should be ready for the bigs at this point. He very well could be our 5th starter next season
