But I understand too that he's run out of options down there, and he is at least getting out and playing the the big club even if it's in the pen. I'm like you: the more he succeeds, the less likely it will be that he is considered for a full time starting role.ChantelleintheCityhttp://chantelleinthecity.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-12466054893138632592011-04-05T16:52:50.149-04:002011-04-05T16:52:50.149-04:00Agreed.

It seems like he'll get some high-leverage innings, much better than the mop-up/long relief role he held during his brief bullpen stint last year. So far, so good.Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878921441543129555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-14735387956815206762011-04-05T10:57:59.844-04:002011-04-05T10:57:59.844-04:00@dougiejays - that is a great point.

Zep fits the profile of crafty lefty whether he's in the pen or the rotation, but I think shaky control will prevent him from ever being Downs.
