Only add-on here ... Jason tends to reinforce the opinions of the old-school scouts that he has open lines of communication with, and like Gordon says that can be a valuable thing... keeps the blog-o-sphere in tune with what the old pro's are saying...
Never ceases to amaze me how STRIDENT baseball scouts are, as to whether a certain pitcher should be starting or relieving.  It's like talking religion or politics.  There is no way to have a dispassionate information exchange.
I'm almost the opposite.  To me it would be an easy way to fish for unexpected value, to try guys back-and-forth between the rotation and bullpen?!  Capt Jack is motivated to scrounge some value out of the Fister deal, so is motivated to use the idea on Ruffin.  Why not in ordinary cases?
