Would not be a disaster if Howard starts up in AAA next year to hone his skills. His build leans more to an MLB starter but yes. He has a ways to go especially in consistency

Considering Glenn Otto's very small sample size, is Taylor Hearn our best starter right now?

There is another reference to that magical 1986 season.

Yes, to me it is, unless his effectiveness falls off the table at some point very soon.

2022 Rotation (in pencil)

Dunning
Allard
Otto*
Hearn

*Otto has looked very good for a few starts if you include AAA, so this is based on, if even a remote resemblance to that effectiveness is shown over the next 5 weeks.

Stay tuned to see if Alexy also shows he should be included too.

kind of early to tell in my book
When the qualifying phrase "right now" is used, logically, it can't be early. "Right now" will not be "right now" any later than right now. Hence, it cannot be too early.

It is too early, way too early, to tell who will be our best starter 8 months from now or a year from now.
