You think there are only 2 options to eat innings at the MLB level? Pay mediocre veterans to eat innings, or rush young prospects?
The Braves could have very easily rolled the dice on a couple attempts at finding the next Arrieta, and if/when those guys failed called up a young guy who deserved a promotion or went with another filler guy like Collmenter. Essentially exactly what they are doing with Colon/Dickey/Garcia, but with a much better potential payoff. What are any of those 3 guys going to net the Braves? Another Ellis? Yay!
Your stupidity it amusing though, so thanks for that.
