Nate Pearson issues interesting statement regarding his future in Toronto

«I've definitely considered it, I've always wanted to be a starter,» Pearson said before the Blue Jays roughed up Hicks for five runs over 4.1 innings in a 5-3 victory Thursday over the San Francisco Giants. «Obviously the past couple of years before this haven't really gone my way in terms of health, the guys we've signed, the roster spots and everything. So right now I'm coming out of the 'pen, trying to help our team win, whether it's one inning, two innings. Looking into next year, if that's an option, then I definitely want to explore it. That's something I'll have to sit down and talk with them about, see what the need is. But I'm definitely open to it, definitely would love to get another shot at it.»
