I hope this is true. Holmes isn't much of an upgrade over Perez on the rotation but Holmes is a much better high leverage reliever. It's hard to carry both Lopez and Perez in the pen. Perez also gives us another lefty in the rotation which helps negate our lack of good lefty reliever after Lee. Kinley and Fuentes can be pushed down to lower leverage situations.
