A change to the Toronto Blue Jays' starting rotation on Wednesday morning is generating plenty of conversation.With Shane Bieber set to make his Blue Jays debut on Friday, John Schneider needed to decide on whether to go with a six-man rotation moving forward or move one of his starters to the bullpen.That decision has now been made, as Schneider confirmed this morning that Eric Lauer will be headed to the pen to make room for the Jays' new acquisition.This is somewhat of a controversial decision given that Lauer has arguably been the Jays' best starter this season. Signed to a minor-league contract in December, Lauer was called up from Triple-A Buffalo in late April and has been excellent ever since. In 14 starts and 20 appearances overall, he’s put up an impressive 2.76 ERA with 87 strikeouts through 88 innings.Given how well he's pitched, there are many fans who have voiced their confusion and even frustration over the decision.
