It's a great example of the benefits of asking. Even if the guy is just a lottery ticket, he could end up giving us tens of millions in surplus value.
And although Cooney is basically pitching against the Gwinett Braves tonight and they are swinging at some shite, he's been very good. Enough to make you comfortable with him starting or, dare I say, as a legitimate LH relief option come September/October.
One thing to remember is that if Choate can't get lefties out we don't really have a lefty option b/c of Siegrist's platoon splits.
