Look at tonight's lineup. Could Fredi be learning? https://www.facebook.com/Braves/phot...type=1&theater
Didn't the Braves get something like 2 million bucks for releasing Russel though? Where would we be without that money? I'll tell you where we'd be. We'd be without a #5 starter. Just close your eyes for one minute and imagine what this team would look like without Cahill. Imagine that man not lumbering toward the mound, imagine that belly not swaying in the wind in a braves uniform whilest he delivers a pitch ending up God knows where. Imagine him not taking up two spots on the bench... that wooden bench. It aint strong enough. Imagine him not falling on his ass when that bench breaks, naked and afraid, covered in his own sunflower seeds. I want you to picture that big boy. Now... Now imagine he's good.
thank you weso1!

I think Russell has a good shot to make it back up . . . if nothing else, for additional depth in September. I certainly don't think the Braves have any regrets on that one.
The one that I was wondering if they might regret was Jose Veras. It seems like he still hasn't caught on anywhere. Kinda surprised.
Kurcz has 3 saves so far closing for Gwinnett, his strikeout numbers are good but he's also walked 6 in his 6.1 innings. So he needs to cut down on the walks, but other than that I have liked him overall. Further, I don't know about him being a future closer in the Majors but he does remind me a lot of Varvaro.
