What to do about Frieri.

[ZachMartin1994]

Any ideas???

[jshep]

The most we can realistically hope for is a long-term demotion to low leverage situations.

 

So I guess that.

Mop up until he shows consistency. REAL. Consistency

[fan_since79]

6th inning man, mop-up, or bring him in when we're leading by four or more runs. No more closing, period.

 

From 7th inning on in close games:

Jepsen

Morin

Smith

 

You've got a lefty specialist also in Santiago. Salas is there too, but NOT with inherited runners. Bedrosian is not quite ready for prime time, but he will be. He needs to shake this off and keep his head up.

With one pitch he can't control? Not likely

That worked out well on Saturday.

LOL. Yeah, I forgot about that!

launch him into space

What to do?

The same thing you would do with a DH hitting .150.

Get him back out there tomorrow, so he can build his confidence.

[Angel Oracle]

Trade/DFA him, and take away one of Stubborn Scioscia the Moron's toys.

Doesn't he still have an option left to the minors for this season? He needs to go Salt Lake to figure out something.

Nope, he's out of options.

 

I guess he could do a phantom DL stint or something, but that's it.

[Butcher'd]

It's time to start thinking about shutting him down for a couple weeks. Like not even having him pitch mopup. Just have him sit out there for 2 weeks without pitching. If that doesn't do anything, then you start thinking about trade/DFA.

 

One thing is for sure, he cannot be anywhere near high leverage situations anymore

Give him the Ned Stark treatment

the Freiri trade with San Diego was a very good one for the Halos -- we more than got our value out of that deal with Freiri's performance over the past two years.

 

now he has hit a rough spot and at this point his role needs to be relegated to a non-closer pen role.

 

If Freiri is not able to resume closer duties again (ever), the pick up of Freiri was still a win for the Halos who really had no expectations he would serve in the closer role at any time when the Halos acquired him........

 

Angels need to make a deadline deal for some pen help -- perhaps even a rental closer for two months --  steep price would be paid --- so the equation is : is the steep price worth a two month rental closer to assure making the playoffs this year or not?

[Ohtaniland]

He should walk the plank. DFA him ASAP.

He would get pick up so fast your head would spin.

Isn't that the same dress Frieri was wearing during his post game interview?

[fan_since79]

He needs a copy of this:

 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

That book is too advanced for him. He needs a pitching for dummies book.

Send him to Little League. Piece of shit
