Chen is ok as long as hes not overworked.. IMO the reason he played well last season is because he wasnt overworked the beginning of the year. He was used sparingly, and still had enough in the tank the last half of the year.
I'm pretty sure they plan for Duffy to eventually take that spot in the rotation. Chen's contract has a major incentive included if he makes more than 15 starts, and they've talked a lot about the flexibility he gives them.

All just reads to me like they're planning for Chen to be part of the rotation early and then move out as the season goes on.
