Francis was terrible last year as a starter at AAA, then they made him a reliever and he must have done some tweaking because he had an uptick in velocity and started to be effective. Then he went to the Dominican winter league and dominated there too before coming back to AAA this year and again pitching really well. The last little bit they've been stretching him out again pitching multiple innings and I suspected it was because of Manoah struggling and all the other starter options in AAA not being very good either.
