We really need one of Fried or Newcomb to prove themselves this year that they can be a staple in the MLB rotation. If both were to flop then the rebuild looks a lot more bleak.
 
Fried so far -- three scoreless innings, one base runner on a HBP and five strikeouts.

depends on what you mean by flop. I think both are going to be good pitchers and would be now.

I think Newcombe could be a very good 5th starter now. Look at what 5th starters do. He'd have some games where he sucks but he'd have more where he's on fire.

I think Fried can be good now too.

The issue for me is will either of these guys be a TOR. Not so sure. Even less sure that they hit the ground as a TOR, maybe Newcombe has to figure it out like Folty.

I like JT at 2 and Folty as a strong 3. I think we can find a 4/5 out of Newcombe, Fried, Weigel, Simms, Blair or Wisler. But we really need some guys to step up and be TOR. WE need at least 1 TOR stud and we need a couple to be 2-3.
 
What would you do: Fried has 8 not hit innings at 95 pitches. Send him out or say good job. Your arm is more important. Since I think most will go with option 2. What pitch count do you send him back out. 85, 90?

Absolutely the latter. I'd defer to people with a better understanding of Fries's elbow to determine a pitch count, but if he hits that mark, I absolutely take him out.

he gave up a hit last inning.. questionable.. but still. But if that came up, I agree. I would pull him. I think my mark would be 80 pitches this early in the season and he has only had 2 starts.

I feel Newcomb could be a #4-#5 starter now. He will be like Folty...it will be a slow process, but I think he will get there. I really don't think you will see his true potential until he's 25-26 at the earliest. Might as well bring him up at some point this year and let him learn.
 
So Fried is dealing.. and he gets pulled in the 8th.. which is fine.. except you bring in DANNY F'ING REYNOLDS...

let me refresh your memory of this douche.. 10 or 11 pitches were balls when the Mississppi Braves gave up 8 runs in the 9th,,

and he promptly gives up a single and double.. please send this guy to Danville.. he is garbage.
 
To me after the trade deadline it should be Sims, Wisler or Blair (whichever one separates themselves and if neither do then Fried), and Newcomb. The young guys are coming fast so we realistically have a year to see these older guys pitch (minus Sims who is still decently young), to access who is kept and who is traded. You just don't give up on a big lefty who throws 95 plus and is under 25. He's too rare of a commodity.
 
Great finishing line for Fried. 7 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 6 K. 77 pitches/49 strikes. I was following on my phone and the strike-to-ball ratio fell as the game wore on, but all-in-all a very solid start.

his last 2 innings, he started getting behind guys. so that pans out correctly.
 
Reynolds now has given up a double to cut the lead to 3-2.. No one out. seriously, I am getting pissed and I shouldn't because minor league results mean ****.. but this f**ker is complete trash and doesn't need to ruin such a great start from Fried.
