He might even be the worst player in the deal. How awesome is that?
If that ends up being the case then the rebuild will go a lot faster
Yeah, especially from the lower end of the batting order.
If he keeps getting hits, I don't care what his WAR is. All season he has been about as consistent at the plate as you can be.
Plus Miller showing some elite stuff with Folty being impressive. Its really early and it could flip completely but I think we can all agree that the four big trades this offseason have been really good ones thus far.
Pfft...from anyone not names Freeman last year. The team was a joke aside from Freeman/Justin and sometimes Gattis.
Let Folty throw 120 tonight. Hopefully get through 7.
Sure. But he's really helped by his high BB% this year and a lot of BABIPing the first 3 weeks of the season. Still a 290 average with a 320 SLG is not good. And he's really struggled since moving to the leadoff spot.
In all reality to this point in the season he has played almost exactly like many predicted. Above average hitter with bad defense. The only thing is his BB% is much higher then most expected and his SLG is worse then most expected.
Not sure we want him to go that deep when he's still getting his feet wet as a major league pitcher. If we could get him through the next inning with the lead, I'd think that'd be okay?
Yeah there is no doubt about that. And we needed that to happen to, imo.
