    Did Albies' AB reflect the lack of effort because of Folty's lack of effort??

    At this time you could have an organization that says they can fix him. Foley still has 'talent' but if we let him suck for another 2 months that goes away

    Nah, he should have decently more than Teheran. Teams love guys that can throw 100 as a starter even if they're command and offspeed aren't great. He was a little better than the average #4 last year as well and has potential.

    If Foltynewicz is has been as lucky, and is as bad, as you maintain, then teams around the league—more perspicacious than you, without question—are not going to trade anything worthwhile for him. Thus even your own “logic”—itself just a thirsty guise to get Fried into the rotation—undoes itself.

    The only option via-à-vis Foltynewicz, at this point, is patience.

    I've said that many times. While "trade Teheran" is the popular take on this board, I'd trade Folty to some sucker who will fall in love with his arm and take him.

    Thanks for the dig.

    Regardless your logic is sound aside from the fact he will cost us games in a year we could make the playoffs.

    This game is indeed most likely over. Just have to hope that bad momentum doesn't slide over.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
