I was referring to how the Phillies handled him during a 97 loss season....he threw 346 innings despite the fact that his team was atrocious.
Skenes shouldn't need to be protected at age 23, especially given that only threw 277 innings over four seasons prior to reaching the majors and was a primarily a position player in high school.
You protect the arms of 18/19/20 year olds....not 23 year-olds with minimal mileage.
