hardly anybody on the staff can get past the fifth inning so I'm not going to hold that against Folty. Hardly anybody in MLB goes past the 5th inning anymore, so it's not like Folty doesn't have a lot of company in that regard. IMO, teams need to get away from every pitcher having to throw 1,000 miles per hour to get a spot on the roster. It's ridiculous, it causes injuries, it slows down the game, and it takes away a roster spot from the offense and defense, because you have to carry an extra pitcher (or 2). Guys who can change speeds and keep hitters off balance are the most effective, anyway, but you never seem to see those guys anymore. It seemed to serve Glavine and Maddux pretty well. Would Glavine and Maddux even get a look by the powers that be in today's game Somehow, the powers that be have gotten off the track that the purpose of pitching is run prevention and getting people out (and an out from good pitching to contact is still effective run prevention) History is full of guys who won a lot of games, pitched a lot of innings and did not have blazing power like Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson. |

They wouldn't be drafted high, but they would make it.
