I think it probable that Shaw is totally prepared to make the change. However, I would be surprised if Costello starts. If you replace your starter with a "new" starter, it is real hard to go back. It sends the message that you really don't have confidence in either of them. It is "safer" to start Chryst on a short hook. If the reps in practice are divided 50-50, it doesn't operationally matter much who starts. At some point, if Chryst doesn't play well, you have to pull the trigger and name a new starter. I don't think Shaw is quite there yet. I guess we find out on Friday?
