If you have a prospect that you know will be a solid starter, then I wouldn’t put him in relief. I’d start him right in the rotation when there’s an injury or the start of a fresh season when another starter leaves the club. Long relievers can usually be guys who were projected as starters but didn’t develop the stuff to go 5+ innings every 5 days. I’d say either 17 or 59 would be good for the role. But then again you and I don’t see eye to eye always, so you can take my 2 cents with a dose of salt.
