Transaction Analysis

I have my reservations about having Nate Cornejo up right now this instant. He had a bad camp, he’s scuffled in two starts, and it’s hard to ask any young pitcher to work with an infield defense that has Shane Halter at shortstop, waving at grounders. Perhaps letting someone a little more experienced, like Matt Perisho, work every fifth day, while Cornejo gets ironed out at Toledo, makes sense. You’d hate to see a young, talented starter get into bad habits because he starts thinking twice about his stuff on the basis of outcomes he can’t entirely command.
