I was just trying to say that he’s yet to experience a year where he’s had very many innings. If they want him to be a starter, they will have to gradually build his innings and it’s probably gonna take 3-4 years. If they rush him to get him up here, it will be as a closer. I can’t remember but it seems like he didn’t even pitch his senior year, I could be wrong. If they’re looking for an everyday starter in the bigs, he’s quite a ways off. I see injury all over this kid if they push too hard. It would’ve awesome to see him in 4-5 years as the Ace of the Reds... Gotta build up that endurance and see how that golden arm reacts first though. If he is only seen as a future starter, I see zero reason to give him a spring training spot this year. Don’t take another guys spot if he’s 3-4 years away.
