He’s probably a better 5th starter in that case than Garza, Anderson, and/or Nelson. It’s only a premature assignment if the mechanics and stuff are not there.

I also think the workload issues are overblown — Lopez’s full year of minor league & winter league is around 160 innings + instructs. Check out his pitch counts, too — he hardly threw 95 pitches in most outings.

Why not just send him to Biloxi and jump him to the majors if he’s needed and pitching well? With his work this offseason you have to imagine he’s going to be on a restricted pitch count too, which is unrelated but something to consider.

It applies to Hader [nothing more to prove] and Woodruff [age] as well. Brinson, Phillips, Dubon and Ray might outperform Broxton, Santana, Arcia, Gennett and Nieuwenhuis now, although service clocks for position players are probably interrupted less frequently.
