4/26/15 MLB GAME THREAD: Markakis still the MAN leading off

are there any contract/super 2/etc type issues that would make us keep Folty and/or Wisler down longer? would they just suck this this year and hold onto Wisler for 2 more weeks to get two more years control? IIRC Folty's clock has started in some way, right?

The Super Two thing is still an issue, but we have already gained an extra year of control. I think the bigger issue is making sure we call these guys up based on readiness and not on need. We aren't good enough for that to be a justifiable reason.

I'm not sure to be honest, but I like the idea of having either Wisler or Folty on this team. My preference as of right now is Folty. But, I want to give Stults another start or two and see if we have anything because his last start looked really solid after he calmed down.

His arb clock started last year.

I'm in no hurry to see him starting in the majors anytime soon, though.

why....I'm worried b/c I think the FB is fast but flat. He seems to get hit a lot. He needed to work on pace and secondary stuff. I'd rather he do that.

If this keeps up put Cody Martin in rotation and find some more bp arms on the farm IMO.

If he can throw a power slider with his already plus curveball with a change up, then he's got all the stuff in the world to be an ace. The control is still an issue.

Are they adding a hard slider or replacing his current breaking pitch?

He threw a hard slider in his last start for the first time ever. I don't know if that means he isn't throwing his curveball anymore, but since it was considered a plus pitch that flashed plus plus, I doubt he would scrap it altogether.

Completely. I'd absolutely love the rotation if he could pan out to be the guy we all hope. Teheran, Wood, Miller, Wisler, Folty or Teheran, Wood, Miller, Martin, Folty sounds pretty amazing for next year.
 
Simmons swinging a hot bat, he is just hitting em right at guys....still. This is probably the best he has looked...ever?
