Kind of surprising. Guess he'll be making pitch for somebody else.

Penny pinching after the Santana signing. I think in signing Santana we gave up any flexibility to make a mid-season move, unless it is structured so we don't add to payroll.
That is very interesting. I thought he would be a solid guy to have in the rotation for a month and sell him off to another team. Does the team really like Hale/Schlosser that much?

Thats surprising.
I thought he'd make the team.
Guess Hale or someone else will man the 5 spot.
If this is the roster thread.
Then...
Terdo, Constanza, and Butcher all got optioned to Gwinnett.
Minor, Julio, Santana, Wood, Hale as the starting 5?
Yeah...that's too bad...I know you can't be sentimental, but he was great in game 6. Good luck to him.
Buchter sent to the minors. Looks like Varvaro, Gearrin and Thomas made the team.
Schlosser to start unless there is an acquisition.
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?
Jeez, you'd think John Smoltz was just cut

And yet Varvaro's limited stat line is better than Gearrin's over the past three seasons. I don't cotton much to either Varvaro or Gearrin, but this impression that Gearrin is somehow the second coming of Dan Quissenberry is a bit ridiculous.
I agree with purplebrave. My only caveat is that a win in April equals a win in August, so if Garcia's experience could net a couple of wins early, they would count in the standings. However, the season goes well beyond April and, while one can't prove the negative, there's nothing that leads me to believe he'd get better as the season wears on and Hale, Schlosser, or someone else might.
I think Wren is going to watch the waiver wire closely, especially for a bullpen arm or two. But this rending of clothing and gnashing of teeth over Garcia is kind of amusing.
I hope not varvaro has been horrible

Woooooooooo!!!!!!!!
I guarantee this was bc of the Ervin Santana signing
Braves being very cheap in this situation. They save 1M by going with a league min guy rather than Garcia. Keeping my fingers crossed with Schlosser. I'd be surprised if he is ready.
I don't get this, could Schlosser have been that impressive? He was the top guy on Mississippi's staff last year.
