July 7, 20187 yr Can we please just move Fulmer to the pen now? I’m pretty confident his stuff will play up he’s just too erratic to make it as a starter. Maybe he has an epiphany and you re-explore but he needs to get his mojo back.

Moving him to the pen isn't going to solve that issue. The biggest problem is that he has a pretty mediocre 93/94 mph fastball and he has no idea where it's going. He's 24 and needs to learn how to pitch basically. He overpowered college hitters and he's unable to do that to the highest level hitters and needs to go back to the drawing board.

Fulmer probably gone next year if drawing board does not work.
