AAA makes sense if he's not in the rotation when the club breaks camp. There is simply no question that the prep and training needed to be an effective starter is different from the skill set demanded from an effective bullpen arm.
Putting him in the pen would be the type of move for an all-in, win-now season.
Thus, the lack of certainty at this point is pretty understandable. We are in a win-now mode, yet we do need to see the big picture, too.
Tough call.
