RE: KP's Role
I am 100% in the camp that believes some of RC's rotation choices are in an effort to assuage a somewhat disgruntled (or not quite content about his role) KP. I think RC has gone away from rotations that have historically given the team the best defense and best chance to win (KP+ DP....KP + WCS) in order to get KP happy offensively. Maybe once KP feels settled offensively then RC will start to move the rotation in a way that gets back to giving the team a better chance to get stops (and wins).
I am also in the camp that thinks if KP is this inflexible and has to be bent over backwards for then you...
1) Make him happy and pump his numbers up this season.
2) See if the team finds a way to be better in the process.
3) If the team is struggling to be super successful then you trade KP this summer.
