I think Wheeler and Boyd both should be considerably better than Gaus over the remainder of the year but, a fixed Folty is likely no different than them. Obviously cost is a factor. I really like Wheeler's ability and I'm a believer in his 2018 performance (along with the fact that NY is a terribly run franchise). Plus the cost of Wheeler shouldn't be substantial I would think.
If Mike Minor is available Morosi says, then we need to be all over that. Keuchel-Soroka-Minor-Folty/Gaus-Fried is a great rotation.
Minor is going to crash and crash hard at some point. FIP of 3.82 and xFIP of 4.42. He may already started that crash considering his last 2 outings. I don't want to be a part of that crash. I don't think he's any better than what we currently have, plus he's a serious injury concern.
Anderson:
2018 1st half: 4.54 BB/9
2018 2nd half: 2.63 BB/9
April 2019: 5.87 BB/9
May 2019: 4.78 BB/9
June 2019: 3.28 BB/9
July 2019: 1.29 BB/9
2019 is as a 21 year old in AA.
yeah, his BB concerns are not actually concerning...same as they've never been.
it's especially great tho to see a supposed numbers guy claim 3 BB/9 is concerning, and leave out the fact that going to one more start puts it comfortably below 3. then again, some supposed numbers people think 2.72 BB/9 is bad as well. so consider the source.

I think a conversation to establish where you have common ground might be helpful.
I agree with you that the BB rate is a relatively low concern.
I tend to agree with the concept that if the Braves can recover Anderson's max FV in present day assets it's worth exploring.
Moving him as part of a Castillo/Syndegard/Boyd trade might past muster for me. No number of rentals, no matter how good, would work for me.
You might have common ground yet.
