Adam Warren settling into the rotation

Adam Warren has come a fair way in the last three months. Heading into spring training, he looked set to be the fifth arm in a stacked bullpen, seemingly demoted from his role as top right-handed middle relief option with the David Carpenter acquisition. It took a Chris Capuano injury to open up a rotation spot, which Warren earned once beating out Esmil Rogers. Behind Carpenter and Capuano on the staff, barely ahead of Rogers, he wasn't exactly mixing it up in the rarefied air of Masahiro Tanaka and Michael Pineda.
