The Baltimore Orioles have placed pitcher Koji Uehara back on the disabled list, and one can only hope that the team finally abandons their plans to use him as a starter.
The right-hander has experience fatigue in his elbow and asked to come out of his past start against the Florida Marlins.
Uehara has proven time and time again that he does not have the stuff, the strength nor the endurance to be a starting pitcher.
He has proven himself to be the perfect long man out of the bullpen, which is exactly where the Orioles should place him.
It will help keep Uehara healthy and give the bullpen another great arm while allowing a young pitcher like David Hernandez the opportunity to gain valuable experience in the starting rotation.
Let's just hope that Andy MacPhail and Dave Trembley see things the same way and put Uehara in the bullpen after the All-Star break.
