Brandon Barker has had an interesting season. I don't know what is ceiling is, but the Braves obviously think enough of him to put him in Gwinnett to finish the season. He doesn't have eye-popping stats, but he had a pretty solid second professional season.

Nice to see both Peterson and Davidson finishing the season on an up-note.

Nice to see Mallex Smith collecting the walks. He's improved his stock quite a bit this year.

[sturg33]

I say we bring Mallex up to see what he's got

A little energy would be nice.

Why not? If he does decent, I'd go into next season with Bourn and Mallex as the cf guys

Still think Caicedo's one of those "sleepers" to keep in the back of your mind - better than 4/1 K/BB Rate.

I'd rather not. If he had a similar start to his time in AAA, he wouldn't have time to figure it out and would have to sit around all offseason thinking about his struggles in the majors. I'd rather let him finish the year with as much confidence as possible ready to win the job in ST.

Makes sense.

On second thought, it would probably hurt Maybin's trade value if he isn't playing every day in cf

That, too, though he would probably still play in left.

We need him to finish the year on a hot streak.
