    Mike Foltynewicz likely to start the season on the DL; lost 20 lbs after injury

    According to reports from David O'Brien and Mark Bowman, Folty has lost quite a bit of weight and strength due to inactivity from his blood clot procedure near the end of the season. Here is a video of him talking about the recovery http://www.ajc.com/videos/news/mike-...covery/vDjXdY/. Could start the season on the DL.

    I have said this other places.. The guy has options left... limit his innings..keep in AAA to work on command and off speed stuff, then he can be a late season call up when we flip some veterans.

    Questions for some of the Baseball Geniuses.. how does this affect his arb clock. He didn't get a full year last year.. but can the Arb clock be stopped and started like this?!?

    Yes, the arbitration clock can be started and stopped, as far as I understand it. But I am almost certain Folty will be in Atlanta once he's healthy.

    Oh...then I don't understand your post haha. Were you just thinking out loud? 'I thought it could stop' suggested to me you were disagreeing with what I said.
