BIG NEWS...

Dans by getting called up Wednesday and will wear #2

[nsacpi]

dumb move by the FO

but congrats to Dansby

[mqt]

I get that I don't know as much about these players as the FO, but I cannot fathom how they see him being ready given his uneven AA performance. Did they confuse his and Albies' performance?

JC is fond of saying the prospects will tell him when they are ready. I guess he woke up to an email from Dansby.

[Braves1976]

Congrats to Dansby but this is moronic.

don't insult the morons

[FreemanFan]

I think it is stupid to bring him up now, but I am excited to see him in Atlanta. I laughed when Dansby said he looked forward to playing in Turner Field one day, but he proved me wrong. I wish him a great six weeks to end the season.

[Julio3000]

Hmmm. Well, this answers some questions, I guess.

Regardless of what they say, Ozzie has been better. And I'm a Swanson fan!

[Garmel]

I don't get it. It must be because the FO thinks it will boost attendance.

expecting a yuge crowd tomorrow

[Millwood1Hitter]

This is a move that the organization will pay for over the next decade. This move is astonishingly stupid. STUPID I say! These morons up in the front office are so freaking clueless. You don't have to make this move right now. He's not ready.

I don't know for sure how he will do, but I really hope his performance makes you all look silly.

If he is going to start the year in Atlanta next year, this does not affect service time at all if I am not mistaken.

[SidSlid92]

Congrats to the kid, excited to see him play tomorrow. But I can't understand starting his clock already.

[TheBravos]

Too soon....Albies is younger, but deserved it.

[Oklahomabrave]

Wouldn't calling him up now and calling him up opening day next year effect his clock the same? Will someone correct me if I'm wrong but to gain an extra year he'd have to be in the minors to start next year.

That's correct.

That is my understanding.

Correct. The smart move would have been to not call him up until sometime next year AFTER the start of the season.

[Braves1976]

Correct. The smart move would have been to not call him up until sometime next year AFTER the start of the season.

Exactly. Plus this isn't him telling us he's ready. This is just the FO deciding months ago what they wanted to do with him and still doing it despite what his play has showed them.
