Could be, or it could not. We ultimately don't know. But do you take the gamble on someone who used to be good his first couple seasons but then was derailed by an injury and then delegated to backup, or do you go with a perennial lower-tier starter who you pretty much know what you're going to get? Since it's a backup role (especially in a year where there probably shouldn't be expectation of playoff contention), I'd roll with the first option.
