A Muller sighting? I totally forgot about that guy. Did he have Tommy John?

Yelich would have been great, he was just a year too early.

Not as it turned out. But is not Markakis outplaying both of them at this point?

Then next year you let him go at AAA for half the year and if all goes well you might have some options to trade.

I just have no clue what the Braves are going to do with all this pitching. People say a trade is going to happen but for what position? What is really needed? Braves have money so LF is going to be covered. Take that off the list right now as needs moving forward. We have Camargo/Riley to potentially fill third base for the next 5 years. DO you really want to use assets on a catcher? I'd rather just keep cycling in vet guys who frame well and pair them with a young guy like Jackson.

I just don't see a need at all. Its going to be reali interesting where the pitching debt ends up by mid to late 2019. You could legitimately have the following guys all needing a roation spot:

Newk
Folty
Soroka
Allard
Gohara
Wright
Fried
Wilson
Touki
Biddle (long shot)
Anderson (for 2020)

Then you guys coming up the rear like Wentz/Muller/Tarnok/Zimmerman

Its insane what this team has put together.

A list!! Sweet!!

I can't remember the last time we saw the pitching prospects listed out, and I have no idea where we could find them listed anywhere.

If you have a problem with that, quit coming to a message board.

Cute. Anyone on the planet not trading Neck for either of those guys?

Contreras starting to heat up - wonder if they finally told him it was OK to hit while he's working on his defense?

Kiley McDaniel in fangraphs chat says he has heard Wentz was throwing 92-94 his first few starts this year. Really good sign.

You spent a lot of time alone as a child, didn't you?

Something must have happened to him, as he only pitched 47 innings last year.

I'm a fan of pulling back on these 18 years olds. Build up their innings gradually. Maybe he pitched a bunch as a High schooler?

They took out their starter and Gwinnett takes 2-1 lead.
