Whoever signs him will win an on-field fight. I remember when he destroyed Affeldt when he was with the Royals.

Good article. Guys like Farnsworth fly under the radar because folks have such a negative attitude towards him. Still think he is a big risk to take on but it’s hard to argue with his results so far this year. That $5m option is a little scary though.

People have a negative attitude towards him because he has been a poster child for inconsistency throughout his career. He is not someone that I would want in the game in a high leverage situation.

” Guys like Farnsworth fly under the radar because folks have such a negative attitude towards him.”
I agree with Yanks420. Folks have a negative attitude towards him because he is too up/down and scary to rely on. Not to mention other stuff.

The only good thing I have ever seen Farnsworthless do is body slam a Kansas City Royal player when there was a bench clearing brawl between Detroit and KC a few years back.

Farnsworth will always be the poster-boy of Cubbie turbo douchedom; unfortunately for the Royals, this attribute has zero trade value.

He’s one of those guys from now on will be probably fighting for a job in spring training I think and from his time in NY when he was lit up in the lime light mostly. Classic live arm and no control guy that has good stuff and little control. Intriguing, like David Aardsma that can harness it for a year, then lose it the next and will never really have a lock.
I look for Aardsma also to lose his job with Seattle by the end of the year as well, caught a few of his games this year and seemed as though that 95-97mph FB that he had in Boston 2 years ago and in Seattle last year was no longer there and had been replaced with a 92-34mph one and was very wild. His splitter looked awful also.
Fahrnsworth and Aardsma have a lot in common.

He has/had serious gas on his fastball, but his control just plain sucks ass.
