Two weeks into the MLB season, Nick Pivetta's impressive performance has heightened his value in the author's perspective, especially compared to the struggling Red Sox rotation. Pivetta's recent outing against the Rockies showcased his ability, achieving ten strikeouts and allowing only four baserunners over seven innings. While acknowledging the Rockies' struggles, the author expresses a desire for more reliability in the starting lineup, particularly with recent injuries plaguing the team's pitching depth. The author appreciates Pivetta's decision to seek a long-term contract despite expectations of accepting a qualifying offer.
"While I believe it was rather unlikely that Pivetta would return if he wasn't guaranteed to be a starter with Boston, I did expect him to accept a qualifying offer that was well over what most people valued him as being worth."
"Pivetta is one of the best innings-eaters that Boston has had in the past decade, and although no one could have predicted a trio of pitching injuries to begin the season, it would be nice to have that considering where we're at now as far as pitching depth goes."
