David Price and Wade Davis #4 and #5 after ASB

Sonny and The Knight of Ni have been inconsistent this year so far and i think that soon it could be the time to move Sonny to the pen, i Love Sonny the starter of last year but i dont like what i have seen from him so far this year, but he has been ok his past few starts so maybe he will take those starts and build on something.

Also David Price's time is coming very soon, Sonny will probably be safe through it when he gets called up, but i have a feeling that niemann is going to get traded for a catching prospect with some high upside.

Wade Davis most likely won't beat out Sonny for a rotation spot until next spring, but i feel that he will be ready after the ASB or shortly after. If Sonny is ever put into the bullpen, i think that he will be very successful.

Sonnanstine doesn't feature as well in the bullpen

He’s a better starter, someone who needs to get all of his pitches working to get guys out, and can’t just throw two pitches to beat guys. Niemann is better suited for the pen than Sonny is.

I think Sonny can work just fine.

You don’t have to be a flame thrower to be successful out of the pen. Look at the A’s relif corp. How many of those guys are dialing it up at 95+?
