I would hesitate to move Ventura after watching him a couple times. I think that kid is gonna make it as a starter in the MLB. He has all the tools and just needs to transition from a thrower to a pitcher mentality. They carried him to 85 pitches in this last outing and he still had gas. I would be more inclined to trade Odorizzi than Ventura at this point based on the eye test. A simple fact I would like to point to: we should move Clint Robinson. We have no room for him in the bigs at this point. He's in his sixth year in our system.
