Give Weber a start?
Unless they really feel Folty is good to go.

Who'll be sent down for inciarte? Please don't say mallex
I don't think Folty has his endurance back yet. It's gotta be Blair.

I think we'll see Blair personally, but I'd like to see Folty get his shots.
Williams Perez has been pretty meh, so I'm not surprised.

That sucks for Perez. I think he'll be very serviceable middle to back end of the rotation type of guy if given the opportunity to figure it out.
He has a bulldog mentality and is actually more efficient than our ace. If he was in better shape no doubt he'd be better. Hope he comed up after we trade Norris.

Curious to see what Kelly has. He was very highly-touted coming out of high school and the Red Sox had to buy him out of a football scholarship to Tennessee with a $3 MM bonus. He was in the big leagues at age 22 before the injuries hit. He had a great start last time out (Saturday).
My guess is we are going to see a lot of shuffling these first couple of months with some of the lesser-knowns like Kelly getting a shot before Blair and Foltynewicz get promoted. Some of that may be due to clock issues, but I think they want to see what they have with some of the other guys first
I think Kelly has a shot at providing some value for us. I'm excited to see what he's got.
A friend just posted this. Wow.
Just saw this on Twitter FWIW. Julio's ERA per catcher.
