Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
I assume newcomb gets another shot. I'd make these 2 moves also...
Demeritte for Arcia
Camargo for panda (DFA)
Braves’ postseason legend.
Lol, so now we’re out on Arcia after two weeks after pining for him for three months?Originally Posted by msstate7

Yes, it was always wishing on a star. I don't want demeritte for more than a week. I want a real hitter, and neither of these two are that guy. Can't have an OF of heredia and Arcia esp when joc is facing lhp
Arcia isn’t a starter, as all of the intelligent people here knew from day 1. You don’t need to throw the baby out with the bath water though. He’s a solid bench piece. Much better than Camargo or Demeritte.

Bye.
I guess. What stats support Arcia being better than camargo?
Idk but we should grant Camargo mercy and give him a chance to stick elsewhere.
Yeah, we arguing over 3 bad pieces. I would love to get a marte duvall package, and cy can have Arcia on the bench
ETA... and I have no real issue with Arcia other than he's playing a hitter's position, and he isn't a hitter. It's not his fault...
Camargo isn't good, but he's better than panda bc he can hit lhp a little and play in the field. Almonte fills panda's spot vs rhp, and can play a position or 2.
Demeritte is just wishful thinking... hoping he is hot at start till we get a real option

He can play SS, for one. He also has played a good LF, something Camargo has failed to show in many more opportunities.
The stats that say he can competently play SS.
What yall said. Arcia isn't setting the world on fire but has had some timely hits and has been good defensively in LF.
Easier if you were never in on him.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Cool, he hasn't played at sS for Atlanta 1 play though. He's in lf
The idea is to get an actual LF. Until then, Arcia is as good as anyone else we have out there.
There’s something funny about this. Minter is bad enough to get sent to AAA, but good enough to pitch the 7th inning in a high leverage situation. Meanwhile, Matzek is bad enough to only pitch in blowouts, but good enough to stay on the roster.
Does matzek have options? This team has been run like a circus most of the year, so not surprising
This is a Snitker problem IMO - not a Pitcher performance problem. There's absolutely no rhyme or reason to how and when he uses these guys, so it's all but impossible for them to prepare consistently and feel comfortable in any particular role. At this point we've seen EVERYBODY used in high-leverage as well as in blowouts. Nobody down there knows who the phone is ringing for in any given situation and that's on Snitker much more than Kranitz. Although part of Kranitz' job is to say these kinds of things to Snit, the only way I think you can hang any of this on him is if he simply isn't telling him how bad he's butchering things.
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?
Ummm... what?
Demerrite and Camargo should never see the majors again, for any team. Arcia needs to be here, he just doesn't need to be starting. I'm fine with dumping Panda. But not for Camargo. The recently DFA'd Billy McKinney would be a better option if we were going to replace Panda.
