But I thought Lucas Sims was pitching better than Sean Newcomb? Bwahahahahaha.

Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Sims simply isn't very good. No "if" scenarios can change that fact.Originally Posted by GeorgiaGirl
At least there are "if" scenarios where Newk and Folty become quality SPs.
If a doctor says his wrist will heal in a way that makes him better for 2018, then I agree that he should rest. But you don't have any evidence that that's actually true and this completely ignores Freddie's say in things. Your plan may go over well with noted rest lovers like JD Drew, but I highly doubt Freddie would want to be shutdown when he's been medically cleared to play.

a case where "he doesn't love baseball" is actually true
It's still incredible to me that his career high in plate appearances came in his one season with the Braves and all I can remember from that season is how amazing he was and how often he needed days off.
The same thing over been saying for four years. It is what it is. Agree with the if's of Newk but Folty needs Dr Llewellyn in the worst way.
Ozzie continues to impress.

Hopefully we've seen the last of Krol, That should be Sims last start as well. Guy just doesn't have the stuff to compete at all.
Braves front office has referenced the added financial flexibility as a reason they moved. If they don't pony up the money to extend Albies/Swanson/Acuna then they will feel the burn from a lot of fan's and justifiably so.
Nick is the most admirable below average I have ever watched. If he were an apple he would be a Red Delicious most certainly.
The whole thing about trading Albies was just locker room talk right?
Forever Fredi
There are probably only 5-6 pitchers on the entire roster worth keeping. That's why the Braves have the 3rd worst pitching staff in MLB.
The FO certainly has done their best to make them as expensive as possible to keep around.
Braves have used 5 pitchers today. 4 of them have a 5 ERA or higher
guess the wrist is feeling better now
JHey!!
Krol, Brothers and JJ should never pitch again for this team...Give Fried or Gohara Sims remaining starts he just isn't a MLB starter
Really have to give it up for Albies. Very impressive start.

Though this statement from Freeman is evidence enough to advocate shutting hind down. From Bowman:
Freeman said he's steadily losing more strength in his previously fractured wrist. He says, "It feels like I'm swinging a wet newspaper."

I loved Drew that year. He was one of my favorites. Then in the playoffs he just sat on the bench when we hit a homerun. The rest of the players were on their feet crazy and jumping and cheering. He just sat there. Still really loved watching him that year.
