In my opinion Renyel has been by far our most consistent pitcher. My only question is, does he have the stamina to become a starter? Our no. 5 pitcher might not have to come from the minors, it can be pinto.

 

However, if this happens than you lose Pinto in the bullpen.

Please leave him where he's at. He's on a great run, but his lefty arm is to valuable and needed for the pen.

I agree, he is too valuable in the pen, and of all our RP, he probably doesn't get his due on here, maybe just because he's not the closer type. While I think he is probably capable of starting, I think the problem would more be replacing him in the pen. Nevermind the fact that when some of our SP come off the DL he would probably end up back in the pen anyway, and I don't know what effect the changes in routine might have on him.

 

giving it thought, I think he's probably our least expendable bullpen arm, and one guy who I hope when his time comes around, gets a decent contract to stay.

We've switched a lot of starters to the pen and we have one of the best pen's in the game but one of the worst rotations. I often wonder if some of these converted starters could help shore up the rotation. I'm not saying this specifically for Pinto, but just in general.
