Blue Jays: Sean Reid-Foley forcing himself back into the conversation

The Toronto Blue Jays are in desperate need of starting pitching, however, farmhand Sean Reid-Foley may soon force his way back into the conversation.

Sean Reid-Foley has struggled with control issues in a couple of cups of coffee with the Blue Jays over the past two seasons. The hurler sports a 5.60 earned run average in eight MLB starts, the inflated stat line also includes 23 free passes in 35.1 innings on the bump.

The 23-year old has only made one start this season with the Blue Jays and stumbled out of the gate with the Bisons to begin the campaign. However, Reid-Foley appears to have weathered the storm and has been pitching much better of late.

With the recent struggles of Edwin Jackson and Clayton Richard, the young hurler may get a shot at a redemption tour sooner than later. The former second-round selection tossed seven scoreless innings in his last outing with the herd striking out six while only walking a pair.

Reid-Foley has allowed three runs or less in five consecutive starts and seven of his last eight outings while lowering his earned run average to an almost respectable 5.72 after flirting with double digits not that long ago.
