This is where I fall as well. I've felt for a while the problems of inconsistency have a lot to do with just not being healthy enough to pitch and gain that consistency. i would have liked to let him try or worst case then abandon him as a starter and put him back as a reliever where I have no doubt he would have been lights out and helped his value.
Risk there though is if he doesn't happen he's a non tender candidate and you get nothing for him. i would have been willing to accept that though given the return doesn't exactly look fantastic. Like many of Atkins acquisitions though maybe it proves me wrong, talent sure looks like it's there.
