Easier to take a guy that’s stretched out and give him a reliever slot in the event of injury/ineffectiveness of a reliever, than to take a reliever and plunk him in as a starter in the event of similar situation with a starter. Just common sense in order to provide maximum flexibility out of the gate. I don’t read anything into it other than that. Mixing and matching sooner rather than later can be assumed.

Yep

All things being equal:

A pitcher who can throw 130 innings is twice as valuable as a pitcher who can only throw 65 innings. 

On the field and on the market. Both matter.
