If it were me, I’d take both guys up north but I’d put Phelps in the 5 spot and Nova in the bullpen as the “long man”. That way if Phelps (or any of the pitchers) have trouble, Nova would come out.
Delia, this one time, I must disagree with you…although, both are being good this year.
Phelps is more of a SO pitcher than is Nova. Nova is a ground ball pitcher, which comes is good for DPs etc., and therefore he has a bit of a edge being as he has been a starter most of his life.
Phelps can work in either spot just as well, being the 6th man just fits him for this year and be a start next year.
Both are good enough to start or be in the BP, I just like a SO pitcher in the BP, that’s all.
So, it is a fans opinion only…for me!
