No, Zach Britton should not go back to starting
Zach Britton is the best relief pitcher in baseball right now. His sinker baffles opposing hitters. His ERA is microscopic. He won finished fourth in the AL Cy Young voting, and 11th for the MVP. So, let’s stop talking about putting him back in the rotation, please.
The latest instance of this inquiry came from Britt Ghiroli’s MLB.com piece on Monday. It turns out that even some within the Orioles organization have thought about Britton starting every fifth day, but those thoughts were deemed idiotic, probably by Zach himself.
