Considering Joba would step in and be the best arm in the bullpem, it allows the 5 rotation spots to go to Wang, Andy, Hughes, Kennedy, Mussina. That way Moose doesn't have to pitch in long relief, a role that I truly believe he would not do well in. I still personally think Kennedy should start the seaosn at AAA, but indications are that he's expected to fill one of the starting spots on the big club. This in turn allows the likes of Igawa, Wright, Rasner, etc. to win over a spot as the long man. Eliminate starting pitching jam, solidify the setup role, give another young guy a shot in the pen. All works out IMO.

Lord knows that Theo and Co wouldn't do any such thing at this point (or ever, as far as I can tell).

That would be a terrible scenario. Hopefully BIG Stein wakes up from his non-existant state and tells Little Stein to easo off the GM, wright checks, and handle business operations. Leave the baseball to Ca$h, Stick, Opp, Newman, etc.
