I hope so. Ruiz was highly regarded when we got him last year.

Blair out of the game after going 7 innings of no hit ball. Man that trade looks better and better while Miller is still winless.

Blair has been fantastic. I'm assuming he'll be up sooner than later.
Rio Ruiz is certainly looking like a legit hitter. Saw him once so far. Very confident and he looks the part now. I'd love it if becomes our 3B for a while. We can worry about Riley, hopefully (Maitan) in the future.
Dustin Peterson with another homer today... would be huge if he could come on strong. Also, really starting to get interested in Weigel... another solid start tonight... and from scouting reports, sounds like he can really throw the gas near 100. And his control doesn't seem like its been quite as big of an issue as feared yet.
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?

I said it in the main thread, but this system is stacked, and incredible. We have the chance to have a really solid lineup and rotation within the next year or two.
We finally have enough depth to start transitioning some of these guys to the pen. Folty is unhittable in short bursts - he should be the first candidate IMO. He could be awesome in a shutdown role. Just think there's a far better chance he could ultimately be successful as one - think Kelvin Herrera.

wow blair. i can't see how this guy isn't the braves top pitching prospect by a mile at this point...
There was a strong hint about Blair's potential from his performance last year in the hitter-happy Pacific Coast League.
This year he is doing even better. Some of that is the difference between the IL and PCL. Some of it is a young pitcher continuing to develop.
