Remind me, how is it ruining his career as a starter? Apparently you seem to know more than Nardi Contreras, Cashman, and everybody else involved in this decision. Fill me in, please.

starters have their own routine and pitch every 5 days and what not
relievers have to get up immediately and get warmed up and ready in the game ( totally diff than a starter, time is a limit)....then you come in and have to be on your game, no time to build up your rhythum, and then, you could be doing it again the night after....pitching back to back....its totally different......
risking his career with this move

You want to go down the list of starters who broke into the majors as a reliever? There are some pretty damn good ones. Letting young starters throw too many innings too soon kills more arms than letting them pitch out of the pen for some time.

Then on the Yankees they talk about how they have not done anything, obviously Hughes, Joba and getting guys like Doug and Giambi back mean nothing. What nonsense. -Jitpal

Opposed to teams that have a mediocre farm system like Boston. I don't see the logic. Oh well.
Championships.

Please know what you are talking about before posting. How many quality minor leaguers have you graduated over the past 2 years to become good/all star quality starters with many more on the way....
