Hard to say if Ryan Franklin will pitch again for M's
With the surprising news that Ryan Franklin has tested positive for steroids, it is going to be interesting to see what Bavasi does. The obvious choice would be to cut ties with the pitcher, given his terrible win-loss record and zero trade value.
You would think the M's would figure throwing ANYBODY out there would hardly be worse than his 9-27 record (going off memory here) the past couple of seasons.
That being said, he is an effective long reliever. He would be fine for a spot start here and there. They did just trade Villone and all.
I'm disappointed to see yet another M using steroids. And I'm guessing we've seen the last of Franklin. But the decision might not come down until the offseason.
