I wouldn't do it, personally. You can probably get the same effect by having him on the Opening Day roster, making him the 5th starter, and skipping some starts early in the year. But I'd probably just come out of the gate blazing with him and let him do what he can.
As a Latin American signing who did NOT sign for a big bonus immediately, Ventura is the type of guy who might fit in with a Perez/Escobar-type extension.

Hate to say it but we have to make hay this year. There is no future after 2014. We need to have this mindset. If Dayton's plan was ever going to work it must be now. Or else his GFTOAT (greatest farm team....) was meaningless as was the Shields deal as was the Aoki deal as was bringing Infante in etc. small markets need to be patient until its time to not be patient and this is our window.
Det made a bunch of goofy moves, Cws-Minny are in the dumps. It's really puzzling to me if Cleveland again finishes higher. Exasperating even.
