Something that crossed my mind tonight, but once Quintana comes back, would there be any potential for Chatwood to make a Ryan Dempster type transition to closer or late inning reliever? Maybe that last Royals start he had was a complete fluke, and we wouldn't want to take him out of the rotation. Still, that might be something worth kicking around.
With thought and come playoffs with maybe zillions of off days, maybe you'll talk me into it.
But my gut reaction really doesn't like that idea at all. Chatwood has really good stuff, was excellent his other two starts. I really like what he can bring to the rotation, and his stuff. I think good Chatwood is probably way better than Q. And the rotation has been doing so well, I'd really prefer not to mess with it, or to bring in another soft-tosser. Bullpen is thin and short on lefties, *IF* Q has anything to offer, I think he can best do that in the pen. I wouldn't mess with anything right now. (If Chatwood stacks a couple of outings like last one, of course, I might change my tune... But I'm pretty pro-Chatwood right now.
