Peavy's back

Boly -- my question was, and continues to be CAN he convert to relieving?

It's a different skill set. You CAN'T come to the mound and find 'it' in an inning or 2.

Rog -- Ryan's career OPS allowed is .755. On his first 25 pitches, it's .749. On average, Ryan hasn't had a great deal of difficulty getting into a game early.

Randy -- of course Bochy will keep running him out there as often as he can, no matter how bad he gets rocked so we might as well get used to it.

Rog -- How do we know this is the case? Yesterday Ryan EARNED himself at least another outing or two.

Ryan was signed this year primarily as a reliever with an occasional spot start, so for us to be discussing whether he should be starting or relieving is irrelevant. If the Giants don't think he can be an effective reliever, then why the hell did they sign him to be one?
