    Honestly think he could eventually fit right in with Blair and Wisler as very solid #3, #4, #5 options - not sexy with the Ks and not overpowering - just guys that know how to pitch and can consistently get outs. Assuming Julio's kept, he gives you your #2. It then falls to Folty/Newcomb/Sims/Allard/Soroka to turn into that "Ace" if you want to be considered as a team with a really strong rotation. If we consistently got sub-3.9 ERAs from the last three spots in the rotation, you've set yourself up for the marathon that is the regular season, but you've still got to have that someone that can make Julio a #2 - as many others have noted.
    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?

    Albies went 0-5 today. Strange thing is he still hasn't walked in 47 at-bats at AAA.

    In a weird way I'm glad he is struggling. It makes it less likely the FO will do something stupid like promoting him to the MLB level this season.

    I want him to have to work his way through this as well. AA obviously wasn't much of a challenge. He has been hitting better in AAA recently.

    Blair and Wisler are pretty clearly rotation staples at this point, I think, as is Teheran. I agree that you probably would like someone ahead of Teheran, but even if no one gets quite to that level (at least no one before Allard/Fried/Soroka), you can put together a really good rotation if Newcomb and Sims develop to about the level of Teheran. If you have 3 good #2's and then two good #3/4's, that's a really good rotation. You don't have to have a shut-down ace.

    The lack of BBs is odd. Ozzie's always had a respectable BB rate. He's also striking out at almost twice the rate he has in his career. So he's definitely going to have to make adjustments.

    That being said, his BABIP is only .250. That's over 100 points lower than its been in his career in the minors. So he's having some bad luck there.

    which is probably making him press more.. He will come around.. he will probably have a night where he bloops 3 hits in and take off from there..

    This is what ppl wanted. They said they wanted albies to make adjustments.

    If they don't push him to aaa does he struggle?

    I like Oz. A lot. I'd be willing to bet I've seen him play in person as much is anybody else post regularly on this board, unless they live in Rome.

    I'm a believer in him and his future as a big leaguer. On the other hand, he is still a teenager and there is absolutely no reason to rush him to the majors right now.

    He was easily the youngest player in AA, and right now he's playing a level above that. Seriously, chill the **** out.

    Just awful to see Albies struggling like this. They shoulda let him skip AAA.

    I live in Douglasville but stay in Cartersville a lot. I saw Oz a lot in Rome. I agree with you. Not worried about him really.

    Peterson is quietly playing really well. He's been promoted every year and has posted a higher OPS and an improved BB/K rate at each level. If he can get his BA up to around the .280 range and keep it there, he'll have a real shot to be a solid major leaguer.

    You probably got a better look at him than anyone and have a good idea what he is and what he isn't. IMO he's going to put the bat on the ball at any level, but right now he's really being tested. I just want to make sure we're considering his age vs. his level right now.
