Technically, in the post-season, David Price needs to go to the bullpen. He's just not as good as the other four right now.*
Right now, he's giving up more hard contact than the others and his K-BB rate is not enough better to make up for the contact.
But Price should have enormous value in the bullpen in the post-season. With the extra days of rest, he might see almost as many batters as he would as a starter.
* Now, that's not a knock on Price, as much as a testament to how good the other four are. And yes, at some point, Price should regress to his projection, but until then, he's not as good.
Which begs the question: is what they have enough? Or are they just the 2013 Tigers with a better offense and worse starting pitching?
I think DDo knows, this time, he needs somebody or two. But who? If not Price, then Erod. But who else? [Enter Kopech... No, tomorrow is Kopech day. ]
