Our bullpen is great. Seriously, why not think about making Clipp a starter? He's been a starter his whole life.
Right now we've got a ton on the DL, but that is the *last* thing we need. We have a ridiculous amount of AAAA starting pitchers, Zimmermann, Wang, Detwiler, Olsen and Marquis on the DL. Clippard didn't succeed as a starter in the majors with us, and has been phenomenal as a setup pitcher. It would be insane to switch him, losing a perfect 8th inning pitcher and having him lose games as a starter again. Not to mention possibly never getting him back where he is now after shaking his confidence. And like I said, while it might not seem it now we have far too many starters in the pipelines now to do anything but trade some, not add another and lose a key bullpen pitcher.
