The FA market on pitching this year seems the opposite of the batting, where there seemed to be some really good pitchers available. So I'm all for getting a guy for "free" in the FA market, then trading another pitching asset for a batting position they need. Even as you say, starting Monoah in AAA would work, or doing a six man rotation if he'd be called up would be smart (though not ideal). There's almost no way they luck out again with no pitching injuries, so it's a good move to strengthen it up a bit.
