All right, so with all due respect to the three of you, which is a lot, lots of respect, absolutely no chance I'm even thinking about Peyton Tolley as a relief pitcher for at least another year.

He's the number one pitcher in the entire pipeline for the Red Sox.

We're not even remotely close to reliever conversations.

The only thing I'll give you is if he's not up in the big leagues in September, you can have him pitch out of the bullpen for a month.

But full-time, absolutely not.

That's where my head's at, too.

So, Bradford, you're advocating to take the number one pitching prospect in the entire organization out of his role, switch him to a relief pitcher role, and then keep the door open to switch back to a starting pitcher, even though he just came off his first school.

How do you spell David Price?

How do you spell that?

When was David Price a reliever?

When did he become a reliever?

2008.

At the end of the season.

Yes, exactly.

That's what I'm saying.

Jonathan Papelbon?

No, that's not a good comp.

This is the number one pitching prospect in the organization.

Yeah.

But the David Price thing, David Price came up at the end of the season because the Rays needed a left, and he pitched out of the bullpen, and then he immediately went back to being a starter full-time.
