If we use him for a few weeks and dump him when (and if) Hampton comes back, I think this is a good move. My only fear with a deal like this is that he will dominate in spring training, suck in the regular season, and that we will then allow him to take someone else's spot after Hampton comes back in hope he will rediscover the ability he showed when he was getting AA hitters out in March.
