OTM Roundtable: What’ll be Garrett Whitlock’s role?

At the start of the week, Bob wrote a compelling case to put Garrett Whitlock in the rotation as soon as this season, which is something I think that many people here would agree with. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Boston Red Sox will follow that path, and in fact it could be argued that their offseason so far makes that less possible. On the other hand, they’ve talked since Whitlock first entered the organization about him being a starter long-term. So that led me to this week’s staff roundtable question, which is: In 2022, will Garrett Whitlock make more appearances as a starter or a reliever?
