No rush? His FIP is now over 5 and his K rate of 3/9IP is worse than Zack Duke. He is throwing BP right now and he will get shelled repeatedly. The only reason he had any success early was a babip in the low .200′s, that has started to change and thus his luck has run out.

I would like to see Lincoln replace Correia in the rotation because he is a potential part of the rotation going forward while Correia is not. The same could be said for Bedard, but a healthy Bedard (fingers crossed) has potential trade value that Correia does not. I would also like to see Presley sent to Indy for a period of time to see if he can figure it out. Perhaps it’s time to take a look at Gorkys. I have no illusions about him being the answer, but given the fact that he is out of options next season it would be good to see what he can do, at least until Marte is ready

I would just as soon keep Lincoln in rotation. Correia does seem to be able to do well at least for first time through the line up. He allowed 2 homers start before against Nats after he had breezed through one time.

There’s no rush to move Correia from the rotation. It certainly should be considered once Karstens returns tho.
