Rico, You're normally a really good poster but your outtake on Salazar is a bit outlandish. A 19 y.o. kid who has barely gotten his feet wet and you think the Braves will cut him loose that quickly?! Obviously they saw something in him to start in Rome.
He is only 19, and I'm sure he got a solid bonus. I just think the Braves are quick to recognize lost causes. Go through his game-by-game totals last year and this year. But more than anything, I can't believe they felt he was ready to pitch against 23-year olds in Rome. I'll amend it; he heads back to Danville well before the short-season starts. Hopefully, he can dominate people his own age.
