    8/16 GDT

    Gun seems a little hot. Folty at 97-100.

    He was throwing 98 in his last start too.

    I was too, but I'm starting to lean towards Folty being one of those "stuff #4" pitchers that everyone keeps waiting to turn into more...but never does.

    His demeanor on the mound stinks. I hate that. I think he slots in good at 3 and people need to pump the brakes on the ace of the staff talk.

    I'll be very happy if Folty is the Aaron Harang like.

    Folty doesn't have the brains to be a TOR. He's a good rotation piece as long as he's relatively cheap. He's got great stuff but he's on equal footing with Newk and mikes in his 3rd+ year.

    So would you move Folty as the main peice for someone like Fulmer or Archer.

    Dickey has been our most consistant pitcher. These other guys...just like how the wind blows.

    Folty needs to be a piece we use to acquire a real starter. His stuff makes him intriguing enough to be valuable, maybe

    There is a big difference between an ace pitcher and the ace of a staff.

    What I'm thinking. It would have to be a controllable TOR starter to even consider it. I'm not sold on him ever being consistant enough to be an ace.

    What we need to do is identify the Folty's on other teams and trade for them.

    Young pitchers with talent figure it out all the time. We need to be patient.

    He will be 26 in Oct., and has started in MLB for going on three years now. More likely "he is what he is" rather than "he will figure it out" at this point.

    A soon to be 43 year old knuckle baller is probably our staff ace this year...let that sink in a bit.

    Why would any team consider trading a controllable TOR guy for a lesser pitcher with a similar period of control?

    I would take a guy with great stuff and "some" success in MLB, over a prospect that's never played in MLB.
