Pitching him only 60 innings in the majors made him a lifetime reliever. His clock started (only has 6 years). Year 2, only 80 innings Year 3 120 innings. Year 4 160 innings. We now have two years of a full time starter with no restrictions. This was best case scenario with no injuries (unlikely). Clearly wasn't likely, thus the way we handled him (60 innings in the majors, thus starting his clock) made him a full time reliever. If this was the plan.. It was stupid. Pitching him 60 (if that was his limit), in the minors is a far different scenario.
