    I have been pretty clearly high on Folty. When he was a rookie he was younger, threw harder and walked fewer people than Newk is now.

    This offseason I predicted Folty would be the Ace of this staff by August.

    Anyone comparing Newk to Folty right now is as wrong as clv saying Folty and Wisler were equivalent pitchers this offseason. Folty was pretty clearly better back then than Newk is now, yet folks are desperate to remain naive about Newk.

    I suppose you look for other things when evaluating pitchers. That's fine I guess. It's wrong, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
    I suppose I'm as bad at evaluating pitching as you are at matt adams' ops

    Yes, you are fortunate he is being utilized as a platoon bat. Good call on your part...even though I'm confident you never expected it to be the case haha.

    Newk has been more effective this season than Folty has (4.29 FIP to 4.53 for Folty) and he misses more bats.

    I don't think Newk has been anything special, but I don't think the facts about Folty line up with your opinion of him.

    Lol so now he's not being used in a platoon?

    If I lose our bet it's all my fault. I should have put a qualifier about him being an everyday player.

    Just so I'm clear...you think Newk is currently better than Folty?
