Hudson seems like a better fit as a starter.
So does Reyes even though he's going to have limited innings, Listen to one podcast that went over this........the theory is that if you put Reyes in the bullpen, you limit his innings and give some help to the team where its badly needed. Their downside was injury. Does he get warmed up properly? Will he be honest with some tweaks before they become time missing injuries? He will come out throwing hard, does that make him more susceptible to injury.
The best way Reyes could help this team this year is get up to speed as a starter by the playoffs. Have the innings left to pitch 3-4 times. If that happens and he is performing like he has in the past........ Martinez/Flaherty/Mikolas/Reyes will be as good a starting staff as any team in the playoffs.
