Good luck trading that flaming heap of dog****.
Jimmy Johns chokes under pressure unlike the franchise that is always on time.
Kershaw to DL.
That's the other reason trading pitching prospects makes sense. Even when they hit, it can take a bit.
Newcomb ended up going six and fanning 9, giving up 3 ER. Not so bad, but his struggles might take a year or two. This is what promoting prospects looks like. Which is why the folks who are against every trade of prospects and who pencil prospects into the rotation as effective pitchers should consider that obtaining established major leaguers isn't such a terrible thing.
Glavine
Smoltz
Avery somewhat...
did not do so well when they first started either and News is pitching in an era that is much tougher to pitch.
They are pitching like Nied, McMurtry, Smith, even Lilliquist. It takes time and reps to get your footing nowadays.
July record = 9-9
Remaining schedule: 3 at Arizona and 4 at philly
Yeah. Once in a while they are good from the start but usually it takes a year or two to settle into a major league rotation. That's why I think we'll get a veteran pitcher to go with Teheran, Folty, Dickey and one of Newcomb/Sims in 2018. They are not likely to go with two unproven guys in the rotation unless injuries and so forth force their hand later in the year.
