Really good move with no real downside. If he makes the transition, great. If he doesn't, he has a ton of experience pitching out of the 'pen.
We may even see something of a mini-rotation in the back end, especially if we go to a six-man rotation. Assuming Big Sean comes back, we'll have Senga, Manaea, Montas, Peterson and then a stable of Holmes, Butto, Megill and Blackburn to fight it out for the last two slots.
If Sean doesn't come back, we'd be alright. But I really, really like having two big lefties in the rotation.
This was a solid move and I’d be just as happy keeping him in the pen.
