Anybody like this idea, or is it just the Giants being short-sighted and indecisive again? Does the body really need five full days of recuperation between games? If you want to "protect the young arms," isn't it better to make sure they never pitch when they're tired (i.e., minimize the number of pitches at any one time) rather than make sure they pitch less frequently?
In a just world Noah Lowry would go the pen till he proves he's better than one of the pitchers who's currently in the rotation, but we all know by now that the Giants don't make decisions that way.
