You give up fewer runs (saving your pen), and you have to pitch them less.

Again, it is not a coincidence that the teams with the lowest bullpen era's average the most IP's from their starters. Pitchers go to the bullpen because they aren't good enough to start. It doesn't matter if it is Gagne, Rivera, K-Rod, or Steve Nebraska.

Starters are always worth more than relievers, and the guy is our best starter.
by the way, do you think joakim soria should start for the royals? just curious.
