I agree that Fried should be in the rotation bc he’s earned it. He has to much potential to stick him in the bullpen and he’s ready for the bigs. Teheran, Newk, Fried, Wright would be the 4 to start the year with me to see how Gaus and Folty progress

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Get the eff out of here for anyone that doesnt think Fried deserves to be in the rotation. Dude could be a stud.

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."

Steamer projects Gio at a 4.41 FIP in 2019 and Fried at a 3.80.
ymmv
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Fried has been unhittable since having his pinkie amputated. Wonder if it will catch on.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
If he has switched from that horrid FA to a SI then he is is absolutely a strong rotation option.
That’s all I want to see, but we don’t have that data for ST games. The results against the Nats AAAA team don’t matter to me, but the lack of walks is a good sign.
Is it possible Fried, Wright and Wilson have pushed Newk to the BP already? Is Newk headed there when Folty and/or Gaus are ready?

If Fried develops the SI and its as good as I think it could be, he has the stuff to be a 3+ win SP. that type of arm doesn’t go in the BP.
There were bits of data that suggested he was toying with a SI last year, but it was very spotty data. Hopefully the new FO identified him as a candidate to change fastballs and hopefully he can make it happen.
