I don't believe it is plausible at all that he would be projected as an All Star level starter without having a single start in pro baseball. Plausible would be if he was projected as a marginal starter. No one goes from having 8 seasons of pro ball as a reliever and then instantly becomes an ace.

All I can say is truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. If it's happening to a bunch of guys every year (or even a few), then I'd be concerned. But a one-off case? I'd roll with it. Just me.
