I disagree. He is currently a big injury question mark and is on the verge of a second TJS. There is a poor track record for pitchers after the second TJS.
He needs to be a TOTR guy for the trade to be a success IMO. Being only a #3 would make this a terrible trade even if Teel and Montgomery don't entirely pan out.
Favorite? It's just another option. He wasn't necessary when Teel was coming up midseason. Now they need a full year guy. Not sure who that will be. Wong just isn't him.
