To be fair he's had some really bad luck, he's a vet that can eat innings on the BOR, if it was a pure swap 1:1 I'm fine with it.
Depends on how you look at it, is he a better pitcher right now than me? Absolutely. Is he a quality MLB arm? No.
Altuve, Bregman and Yanier, 3 of the better hitters on this team have been able to hit Skenes. Sucks that Yordan is slumping. Outside of the top 4 don't feel great with the rest of this lineup against great pitching.
Pirates should consider taking out Skenes right now. There is nothing sadder than misusage leading to arm failure.
