He also could provide spot starts to get some guys extra rest in September.
So could I, but I don't think anyone wants to see me on the hill.
Just some insurance. Don't see the harm in it.
thank you weso1!

No, I would prefer to see someone whom could actually pitch, i.e. Garcia. He isn't the ideal option, but with what is out there... he is probably the best we could get. With Huddy and now potentially Beachy down... and the lack of ML ready depth, getting Garcia is better than what we have for a backup.

These are the options you have when you ignore a depth weakness. Not horrible, considering. Hope Maholm can turn it around.
Krovahn (08-23-2013)
I love how people freak out over depth moves. There's no harm at all in this. He's in AAA in case of a worst case scenario and will most likely be a long reliever in September with maybe a spot start.

The Braves' twitter and Bowman both confirm this as well. He is being assigned to AAA. Decent insurance in case Beachy is actually in trouble with his Elbow; even though he said he is confident that he will pitch again this year.
He looked terrible the last time I saw him in the Majors. I understand depth but I just rather go with our young guys at this point since we have a comfortable lead.
I thought so too, but as long as he doesn't get a spot over Poveda come Sept. I am fine with it. Nothing wrong with extra depth.
