He deserves the opportunity to be in the rotation.
More Quotes from Mark Connor:
I thought he was pretty good. Coming out of spring training, he turned the dial up with his intensity, with his stuff. He made a couple of bad pitches, obviously, but I thought he could have been out of that fifth inning and it's 2-0 ... a couple of balls hit hard and that's about it.Mark Connor
He was perfect. He walked a guy that I thought he struck out. He gave up a base hit and it was probably an error. He commanded his fastball, changeup and breaking ball. I've been telling him all spring he's got the stuff to do this. He's got to believe in it and trust it.
Mark Connor
I want him to focus on making one pitch at a time. Sometimes it looks like he's trying to make 10 pitches and pressing to a certain degree, trying to make the perfect pitch. It's hard to do this with a lot of tension, it's hard to do anything with a lot of tension. He's pressing because he expects a lot out of himself.
Mark Connor
The ball was moving good today. He was throwing it over the plate. If he does that, he'll get people out. There's progress each time out.
Mark Connor
Right now he's getting ahead of hitters and throwing three pitches for strikes. That's what a starting pitcher needs to do.

In a perfect world, I'd like to start him out in a Minor League game and by the end of the spring get him some 'A' games to get his adrenaline popping a little bit.
