    In his three pro starts: 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 12 K. He also picked off two runners today.

    Muller has been pretty good, too: 8.2 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 10 K.

    Ian Anderson was added to the active roster before today's game, so I'd imagine his debut is coming soon.

    ready for Anderson to get his turn. Good start for Wentz.. Also, I didn't realize Muller was so big.. 6'6 225.. wow.

    Sorry the minor league thread did not post. Did it early this morning, but did not double check. Will be up soon.

    Wentz and Muller could be the Twin Towers coming through the system. Both are off to solid starts. Hope Anderson can keep it rolling.

    Throw in Bryse Wilson, who has thrown 2 innings while striking out 2, walking 1, giving up 0 hits and 0 runs.

    There is a ton of ace upside with Anderson, Wentz, Muller, and Allard

    I still think you have to throw in Newcombe, Fried, and Sorka in that group. Touki has a shot if he keeps on this track...he's just so far away.

    But there are guys with TOR stuff.........just most of them are 4-5 years away.

    Makes me sad most of these TOR prospects will just be traded right in their primes when they're up with us because of Liberty.

    I'm talking about our real young guys all moving up together... I certainly count those other guys.

    and I'm hoping the new park with 365 day revenue streams will help boost us enough to keep guys around.

    I find that to be a convenient way for the Braves brass to absolve their superiors of any criticism which I totally understand. How do you answer questions from the media about how crappy your boss is without them finding out about it? It's pretty clever spin.

    If we can get a payroll in the 130-140 mil range consistently because of this it would certainly be a franchise changer for us.

    Wentz was rated 20 spots higher than where he was drafted. Don't see the point of massacring that poor dead horse in this instance when literally no person on this board was upset with where we drafted him at.

    The TV deal expiring will be a big help. Some of us may be dead though.

    But based on all the evidence we have, that's exactly the relationship. The Braves run on revenue, and Liberty stays completely out of baseball decisions, including the budget. From everything I've read, Liberty has never told us what we can and cannot spend. The team is run on revenue, so if there is room, there's room.

    I would love an owner who just throws out cash with no thought to revenues, but in reality that is incredibly rare. We actually don't have that bad a setup, we've just been hurt by the TV deal. The revenues from the new park should increase the budget by a pretty impactful amount.
