    A pen of Kimbrel, Walden, Carp, Thomas, Venters, Avilan and Hale would be insane.

    That's the group I would want come October. Though I also have high hopes for Vasquez and Simmons.

    You think Simmons will have a big impact on the pen come postseason?

    From Adam Kilgore (no relation) via Twitter:

    @AdamKilgoreWP: It took the Braves six games to win a game started by every member of the Nats' opening day rotation. Kind of incredible.

    Guys, this race is not over. I think we're a better team, but we're one game up two weeks into the season.

    And autiger, don't post anything like that again. Ever.

    Shae is doing a really good Kimbrel impersonation. Not as good as the real thing but he has dominated. Have to love that the Braves are able to target relief pitchers in the draft as well as convert the right starters. THis organization just knows pitching so well its scary.

    He had a very good spring training and is dominating in AA. With the quality of the guys ahead of him, there is no need to rush him but I would imagine at a minimum he will get a mid-season promotion to AAA.

    I like Simmons a lot, even his name sounds like a great player (hehe). But I doubt he gets a call-up to the Majors this year barring injuries, though I agree that if he continues to dominate it might not be long before he sees AAA.

    Why? What is with this board. You guys all bitch to Sav that I'm too negative (when that wasn't the case) and then he bitches at me about it. So I start posting positive things and you guys bitch at me about that. I can't ****ing win here. I've about had it with this place. I'm tired of getting called out here for posting my opinions.

    I can see Simmons as a September-callup, or fill in for injury for someone, not much more than that.

    I think he should be in the pen next season though.

    You dont think he could get called up in September if all goes well?

    Agreed, it is far from over. The Nats could be back in first fast too. Look at who they face next (Marlins who they already swept) while we face Philly in Philly. We already lost a series to the Mets too and we face them after Philly. So yea it's far from over, it's not just how we play vs the Nats. It's a long season.

    That's not an opinion dude. Declaring the division race over two weeks into the season is something that you just don't do in baseball. It's a cardinal sin.

    You obviously weren't around for 2011...

    I wouldn't rule it out, esp. if injuries happen. But I doubt it happens barring injury.

    I just said it. I believe it It's my opinion that the division race is over. It isn't like the Braves play is depended on what I say on a message board.
