Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Shreve, please.
Actually, it's probably going to be Simmons. Pretty sure I read that Fredi wants to get him some work in the Major League pen before sending him down for rehab. Which, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
I hope it's not Avilan. He's been equally as bad if not worse for Gwinnett.
I hope it is Shreve. But he pitched last night. If they thought they were going to do this, they should have held him out of last night's game.
Avilan has not pitched that well in AAA. I'm a big fan of his, but I think Shreve is more deserving and the better pitcher at this point.

It is Avilan.

Avilan has been the worst option out of the bullpen all season. Why is he on the roster again?
I would rather have Avilan than Jaime. But I would rather have Shreve than either of them.

May I ask why?
The guy has been terrible at Gwinett. A WHIP over 2, a 2:1 BB/K ratio. I actually really liked what I saw out of Jaime, his control is inconsistant and his fastball straight but he could fill a potential role in the future.

Avilan played a huge role today. I guess Fredi & Wren showed us.
Sometimes I wonder about this organization's decision making. Avilan has been awful all year long, why would you bring him back up? Shreve has been great all year, yet he stays down. Odd.
