Nova's the opposite -- not as highly regarded to start with and with a somewhat lucky ERA. I wouldn't mind calling him up, either, though. It's better than trading away one or both of them for some veteran rental.
I agree with you on that last point, for sure. That's always been my stance; for example, the Cliff Lee thing would have been great only if they re-signed him. I dunno - that's like putting myself in handcuffs if I am Cashman. Better sign him to avoid looking bad so pay him whatever he wants.
