Tempted by option 2, but I went with option 3. Regression for sure. And replacement at some point, though it may be temporary.

Damn man. I know he ended badly but after a season like that he's suddenly being replaced the next year? Only one person voted that he'd be good. I put acceptable. I don't think he can duplicate last season. He's another year older and I think he lost a little bit of confidence. He doesn't have amazing stuff, he just has a ton of average pitches that he can confuse you with. I really hope Motte kicks him out of the job because he's pitching too well. I really like him for some reason.

This pretty well sums up my opinion on the matter.

I really hope Chris Perez takes over the role mid-season.

Er... uh....

Yeah, I had been wanting to make that my avatar for a while. I finally got around to asking for help in making it an acceptable size (I'm not too tech savvy). Thanks goes out to Tam Man for helping me out.
