    ALBIES AND SWANSON!!!!!!

    Albies and Swanson has been promoted and reported by Mark Bowman:
    https://twitter.com/mlbbowman/status/726383049823252480

    I like that they have been promoted, but I hope they stay there for bit (especially Albies).. I don't want them to be rushed

    I hope they spend the yr in minors. Maybe come up for roster expansion if that does not impact control

    This is better than firing Fredi, which would by itself do nothing.

    Holy crap. This is really fast. I thought they'd take their time. Albies does nothing but hit, so I get it.

    You do realize calling them up in th second half has little to no impact on their service time. 2017 will still be their first year of service time.

    Sure, if you think the Braves should have Albies and Swanson up on opening day next year, which I don't think they should do.

    Short-sighted to me, but the last time I checked, none of my paychecks were issued from the Atlanta Braves.

    Is there any point to watching the Mudcats now with Swanson gone? Seems like we don't have a lot of talent there right now.

    Told a couple cousins of mine that live in the area that they needed to make plans to go early three weeks ago since he wouldn't be there long. Think they both missed their chances.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Still I hope they don't see ATL until next season. I think about 2005 when Frenchy, Mac, Kelly, and Joey Devine were called up. The argument could be made that they were called up too soon. The only one that it didn't stunt their growth as players was Mac in my opinion.

    Davidson and Povhe are probably the only ones worth paying attention to.

    This is all just complete conjecture, though.

    I mean, holy cow, Kelly Johnson had a full season in A, a full season in A+, basically two full seasons in AA, then 44 games in AAA. He was 23. If we're saying he was rushed, then good grief.
