Abbott starting tomorrow and I'm excited about that one. Hopefully Greene's setback is just precautionary because if he comes back fine and Ashcraft struggles, I'd send him down to A ball for a couple of starts just so he can focus on pitching. Then either give him a AAA start before bringing him back or a AA start and a AAA start before the recall. They probably won't do that but I think that it's 75% mental right now. The other 25% is physical with the walks and the occasional grooved fastball or belt high cutter or hanging slider.

I agree it seems he's somewhere else mentally. Perhaps a few games in the minors is his best option at this point? Get his focus back on point.
