Yeah the move seemed like a response to trading away Ferrer for Ford, but the problem isn't the bullpen depth right now, it's the starting pitching.
on his last option. What do you do with him if he stays wild? fWIW, there were lots of man-crushes on Perales at SoSH, but even there others recognized he was not working out as a starter on the schedule that worked. Bennett was thought of as their 8th - 11th starter by some, but he had options so OK. I forget if this was after the Harrison / Durbin deal. Clearly underestimated without wow velocity, but his extension makes up for it.
