A little surprised they cut bait on Ubiera this quickly personally.

[50PoundHead]

It's Friday already? I must have slept through Thursday.

[Tapate50]

GLAD TO SEE THIS BACK!

[dak]

Thanks for the updates Rico. Pretty solid start from Folty. Only 57 pitches in his 4 IP. That's more efficient than he was in any of his ST starts.

[50PoundHead]

Not much hitting thus far this evening.

No offense is the new organizational philosophy

you're just mad Heyward is gone

[50PoundHead]

B. Davidson goes deep.

I think you mean Babe

[sturg33]

B. Davidson goes deep.

I got some high hopes for this kid

[Julio3000]

B. Davidson goes deep.

Good to see him hitting for power. I'm hoping to see him in action a couple of times this year. Based on the tape that we saw after the draft, I like his swing.

[chop2chip]

B. Davidson goes deep.

The most important player in the system this year.

[Heyward]

Yep, need one of the hitters, Ruiz or Davidson to develop offensively as a long-term option.

Ideally both.

[Braves1976]

Nice start for Davidson with the bat, also good to see Mallex Smith starting well. So far he's 1-1 with 2 BB's leading off for Mississippi. Hunter started fine too, 1-3, I hope Hunter gets off to a strong start and gets back to the Majors sometime this year.

I also noted Ruiz had a double.

[Tapate50]

Povse with a nice line. He did great work last year as well .

[MadduxFanII]

Regardless of my opinions on the re-build, it is nice to have a few guys at every level to keep track of.

The most important player in the system this year.

I think its between him and Mallex Smith. I understand the Carolina league is a crazy hitters league but to have that type of leadoff hitter would be incredible. Imagine what a 350+ OBP 50+ steal guy could mean to the team that has doubles power and doesn't strike out a crazy amount? Yum

[thethe]

Also, Mallex Smith has 2 PO's at first. Is he supposed to have a big arm?

He got picked off twice at first.

Another 2B for Ruiz.
