You just don't see many college players be RP who are offensive starters/stars.
I guess I don't get this. ALL of the guys we've had in our history that I can think of that played in the field and pitched were relief pitchers. Now yes, they were more late closers than middle relief but none were starters that I know of. And I'm talking about guys like Bobby Thigpen, Pete Young and even Reid Humphreys last year. This is really the first year I ever remember us having a guy who plays every day in the field being used as a starter.
