    At this point do you try him in the pen the rest of the season and then go into ST with an open mind?

    Its so fascinating to see this happen after the dominant year he had last year.

    I smell a trade for a starter in the next couple of weeks. Stroman?

    You wouldnt get as much right now given the season he's had.
    Nah there’s still teams that would give up plenty for two years of control in hopes to have last year’s Folty. We know that was a fart in the wind, but he still would have teams willing to give a lot.

    I don’t buy him as a closer either because his first innings have been amount his worst.

    Doubt it. We have a decent lead, so I think that allows us time to hope one or 2 of folty, gausman, Wright, Wilson, or even Newcomb step up.

    Hitting it and being consistent there are two different things. His fastball isn't as crisp and his slider is all out of whack. For a guy that relies on stuff to be effective that's going to be a problem. He's at the age for a pitcher where that will start to happen. It sucks but that is the reality of the situation. I honestly doubt he the ability to reinvent himself as that's easier said than done. If his stuff is going into freefall they need to move on. Not extending him was the obviously right decision.

    I'd make sure he hasn't lost that much since his high school and then decide.

    Doubt it. He’s too well endowed. He will make all the honkies feel insecure.

    Listen. He's grown but he still has the tendency to let things get to him. It's more apparent at times, but it's not off base to say he's always wearing his emotions on his sleeve.

    I've not been a Folty fan much but he was stand up about his failure at this point. I applaud him for that.

    You could lose that lead just as easy by being complacent. We're getting by atm but there gonna have to be a move made or someone's gonna have to step up ASAP!
