Wellllll at least that may keep Franklin out of the closer role a little longer.

Of course, as much as I detest Franklin, it's not his fault the team couldn't score one goddamn run in two innings.
Oh well. |

Franklin just doesn't have the velocity to be a closer anymore.
He's throwing 89 and if he gets up to 91, the ball is razor straight. If he mises his location, the ball ends up going a very long way. If Sanchez misses his location, it's going 94 and breaking some direction or another so even then the ball may get tipped back or hooked foul. Meanwhile, if Franklin misses his location, it's batting practice. He simply has to be entirely too precise, borderline perfect, in order to get outs. That's unacceptable for a player that's A) nearer to 40 than 30 and can't count on his body to do what he wants it to consistently and B) trying to get outs in high leverage situations. Franklin is a mopup man, nothing more. And since that's not exactly a worthwhile occupation for an old man with no future on this team, he really shouldn't be on the squad.
