    I never said a top 10 prospect or anything but there arent a ton of projected good SP's on the market.

    Then again if Julio implodes nothing will happen.

    Unless Julio turns into Greg Maddux circa 1995, I am for trading him at the deadline no matter the position we are in. Even then, in this market the demand for a pitcher in his mid-late 20's pitching well on a team friendly deal should be very high and I'd still look to rob someone blind.

    Well, you’d fail to trade him.

    I think this Julio can be a very good player. Good on that deal.

    He is just miscast as a front of the rotation guy. It’s like hitting ender first, love ender and it’s not his fault they hit him first

    He can be a solid an affordable starter to help transition to the new wave. We’ve done well so far with scrap heap guts but we should be past that next year.

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I'm sorry 50. It was meant as a joke for the mocking I get from another on this board.

    I hope you would never think I would act like this towards you. Apologize for that.

    Jeez, it's not like you killed his cat.

    Economists lack humor - it's well documented.

    I suggested a while ago in this thread that Julio should drop his FA usage and increase his SL usage.

    It looks like that was the plan, or at least seemed to be the plan, in game 1:

    Julio at 91.5 and using the SL more often is an acceptable back end SP.

    credentials and expertise don't matter so much...your attitude is old-fashioned and elitist

    except when it comes to a bypass...then people want the best heart surgeon...funny how that works

    Actually Julio at 91.5 with the improved movement on the off-speed pitches might be a bit more than a back end SP. I noticed yesterday he put a couple hitters away with 93 mph at the top of the strike zone. If he has that in his back pocket when sitting at 91-92 with the improved off-speed pitches he could be one of those guys with a mid-career resurgence.

    I also wonder if pitching to McCann will help him. Flowers is a good framer but sometimes eccentric in his sequencing decisions. I liked that McCann got him to mix in the changeup in some key situations. Just something extra for hitters to think about.

    I think the 5.40 era is sustainable.
