Win or lose this team plays baseball the right way.
That's what we get for devoting an entire thread to discussing Wieters' value.
Avilan has had a bad stretch it seems.
Let's get weiters to ATL this offseason!
Let's face it. Disappointing loss, but another step to a high draft pick.
Trade JJ and Avilan. And give Viz a chance at the closer role down the stretch.
Oh Brian Jordan. "Why didn't you draft me Atlanta Braves?"-- in reference to Wieters. Umm maybe because he was selected waaaay before we were on the clock.
Braves eighth walk-off loss this season. Tied with the Reds and Pirates for the most this season.
We can use this after a walk-off loss.

So how good could Garcia be? He's never gotten the chance before and he's always had decent minor league numbers. Maybe this guy is a surprise regular. Other teams have surprises like that. Why can't he be one?
Luis "Protect the Pick" Avilan

Last year he slashed .319/.353/.474 for the Yankees AAA team
This year he slashed .284/.314/.367 for Gwinnett
Part of the difference was a BABIP of .348 in 2014 versus .314 this year. Walk rate hasn't change much. Strikeout rate down a bit this year. ISO down this year.
