As I've always been, I'm high on him.
It will be interesting to see who gets the call when Gallardo gets bombed for for 6 consecutive starts or Kuma gets a blister or Felix's elbow asks for month-long break: Miranda, Heston, Whalen....or Moore, who will be 7-2 with a 2.6 ERA in Tacoma by that time.
Miranda, then Moore for me. I'll bet that it's Whalen or Heston, however. Seems like we see Miranda as more of an RP, which I see as a bit of serial weirdness: In his 10 starts last season, he ran a WHIP of 1.07 and an ERA of 3.44, which was better than Paxton and Smyly, two fellow lefties. As a rookie starter, he sort of bamboozled the league. And he won't get a 2nd shot? I find that a bit odd.
Altavilla and Simmons have both been really good at almost every stop. It won't be long before they are both chucking it in Safeco.
I do like the bullpen spaghetti we've stocked up on. If you assume Cishek gets healthy by May (a decent bet as he's throwing already), then you're really looking to get to the 8th, with a Cubs/Indians/Yankees sort of BP usage.
Go team.
