I’ve said this before on the blog talking about Aaron Harang (before the Indians somewhat foolishly let him go before Opening Day 2014), and Scott Elarton, and even Shaun Marcum, but I love having an underdog 5th starter type that I can look forward to rooting for every fifth day. Guys like TJ House – no disrespect to him intended at all – just don’t inspire the same kind of storyline for me. You don’t want your fifth starter to be a guy whose ceiling is “5th starter,” you want a guy whose ceiling is way above that (Scott Kazmir coming off of injury and being left for dead by the major leagues) or way below that – at least perceptually.
