same here. I wouldn't think his stamina is the reason he is out to the BP. is peripherals are worse over last 3 seasons, enough to worry. if he pitched the same way as 2 years ago, sure he would still be in rotation. he looks like a 6th starter by now. he could also be really efficient as your long guy in the BP
also he is a high GB% pitcher. how is your defense behind him. any change would really affect him
