    Kelly to the Bullpen

    Hadn't seen anything on this, so figured I'd start a thread (apologies if I missed this elsewhere). Given (a) how frustrating and often simply bad he's been a starter and (b) the tantalizing promise of his stuff, I am intrigued to see how this plays out. If he finds success, he could give a...
