He may be making a case for the pen if Kinney is out for an extended period. Some may argue he needs the innnings in AAA but I for one would love to see him in Wainwrights role from a year ago... Either way he is having a teriffic start to the Spring.

None of his games have been on yet but if he stays in line with Carp then we may get to see him on ESPN soon. ESPN has to show a Carpy start eventually. Anyone else like to see Hawk get a shot at the pen?
There's no way Hawksworth starts the year in the pen. His situation is totally different than Wainwright's was last year.]
Wainwright had spent 1.5 years in Memphis. He really had nowhere else to go and it was counter productive to keep him at the AAA level. Hawksworth hasn't pitched a game in AAA.
