GDT--3/8/18--Astros

I haven't wavered on Fried at all. Kid needs to pitch. Crazy how you guys expect instant results.

I’m not expecting instant results. I’d just like to see any positive results from him outside of Low A ball or a short AFL stint.

There were positives last year when he pitched. If after 30 starts we aren't seeing more consistency then I'll be right with you.

There has also been a good bit of data provided that suggests Fried needs to make some serious changes to his fastball to even be major league caliber.

Do you also still think Allard will be a Top 20 guy by the end of this season?

How about Newk? Is he sill going to produce 5+ wins in a single season?

Still think Pache is going to be so good the Braves trade Inciarte in the next year?

Man I was never super high on Newk, but I was on Allard. I wasn’t that high on Soroka though, and I’m glad to be looking wrong so far.

I think the pendulum has swung too far on Allard...i think he'll be a useful major league starter

Kazmir will probably be the 5th SP behind Teheran/McCarthy/Folty/Newk and/or the long man in the BP until Gohara is ready.

Hopefully he doesn't pitch any meaningful innings.

AA has mentioned more than once about opening day starters being “best for that moment” and not a few months down the road. If they think Kazmir has ANY value...they will showcase him somehow. Could be a long man...not sure he could start.

I am really liking McCarthy and if he stays healthy and does his thing...they should be picking up his option next year.

KEMvP was unbelievable to start the season last year. After he suffered that hamstring, he was never the same

Oh...you know he will do well and the Dodgers will be able to flip him for something or he will lead them to a championship. You know...that would be our speed. Still glad he’s gone either way.

I think so too. Our fanbase looks at him like he has herpes now. He has been successful at every stop, so I’m not giving up on him until he gives me a reason to

Yea, but you still haven’t answered the herpes question.
 
Kazmir insists he has more velocity in the tank, he stated in the AJC: “But I feel like with my delivery and everything, it’s just not completely in synch,” the veteran left-hander said. “That’s more the concern I’m working towards. I know the velo’s going to be there once that’s kind of synched up.”

If Kemp had any value he wouldn't be with the Dodgers.

I think he can start the season raking, he's still a good hitter, but odds are he will get hurt at some point and his hitting numbers will fall down. And he'll be bad to unplayable in the field.
