What SS is going to be available at the break because Swanson aint doing it
This has nothing to do with ST performance, but I don’t think Newcomb is very good as a starter.
Can’t see the Angels trading Simmons, now that they’ve resigned Trout forever and need to build a core. Not sure that there are any other impact SS that might be available.
It’ll probably be Swanson for one more year unless his defense craters or his offense is unspeakably, as opposed to just genetically, bad.
As I said 2 years ago, the walks are unlikely to improve and Newk will mostly likely end up in the BP at some point.
Whether that time is now depends on how comfortable the Braves are with a rotation of Teheran, Wright, Wilson and Fried (I really wish I could see his ST statcast data) to open the season. Folty and Gaus should be ready early in the season to jump in and help.
Touki came into ST as the favorite of the young guys, but he hasn’t looked ready at all. I would like to see him getting innings in AAA.
