But my advice would be to put him in a relief role and see how he does. His numbers in previous seasons aren't bad (albeit not worthy of the salary you're paying him). His BABIP is astronomical in the current season and is bound to decrease, which will benefit your pitcher. I'd also be curious to see if he gets rocked once he hits the 5th or 6th innings. A stamina of 4 is a bit low for a starter.
I think you'll get some value out of him as a reliever, although not equal to what you're paying him.

Agreed if the scale is 10. Based on that assumption making him a reliever may bump his stuff to 7. A 7-8-6 long reliever with those pitches has some value unless more ratings decline is seen. If there is room I'd keep him for now.
What is the game date?
