Ok Newk.. no walks today..

[chipchildress]

i don't know much about harrington. he was a louisiville guy and a third round pick. look forward to seeing him progress.

From everything I gather he should move up quick but has a very limited ceiling and a high floor. Has a lot of pitches but none are special. Can only really sit in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Figures to be a 4 or 5. Reminds me of a Sean Gilmartin type without the left hand thing.

I think most reports were that he's probably going to be a RP eventually.

[bravesfanMatt]

Didder with nice running catch and then threw a seed to Jackson to nail the runner at home.

[bravesfanMatt]

Newk will not have a good game. 2 batters in. Walk. Hit batter.

[bravesfanMatt]

Newk is mechanically flawed. When he is off. He
Is way off.

[zbhargrove]

Oh my Sean... this is not a good way to get on track...

[Braves1976]

Now y'all are seeing why I wanted to sell high on Newcomb this off-season, if he keeps this up he won't have much value as his stock will fall a lot if he struggles in AAA this year as I expect.

I hated the Simmons trade from the start, but if we end up with nothing from it I'll be even more pissed.

The second half of the year was looking so good, though... he really improved his control. Something's wrong... I've always defended the Simmons trade, but if Sean can't right the ship there's no way to defend it other than you win some, you lose some. His raw ability is incredible, but yeah...

[zbhargrove]

We really need two of Fried, Weigel, Blair, Wisler, or Sims to step up and become no brainers for next years rotation (or even this year)... then Allard, Soroka, et al...

[zbhargrove]

Alex Jackson having a real nice start to the year at the plate... 2-2 with an RBI and run scored again so far tonight... and an error. If he can even just be a serviceable catcher and keeps hitting like this he will have immense value.

Out of that group, I'd bet on Fried, Allard and Soroka to produce at least two solid starters and I believe Sims could still become a good starter or dominate reliever. Sims might be a much better reliever than starter, should add some average velocity out of the pen too. Wisler will be looked back on as a bust in a few years IMO.

Hopefully he can become a serviceable catcher but honestly I doubt it. He looks more like a DH to me that might end up a good hitter if he reaches that potential.

I have no faith in Wisler. I think Blair has a shot... his new pitch is working well and I think he was messed up last year. I think Fried could be the best of the bunch, but I do worry about consistent health. Allard and Soroka can both be special. Wiegel is still a wildcard.

Regarding Jackson... I have the same doubts as you, I would just love to see a guy who had such hype in HS start to "find it" with us. Or maybe just be ready in time for the NL to adopt the DH

[CJ9]

Derian Cruz with his 7th error in 12 games. Yikes.

[Tapate50]

We are due for a reclamation project on the position player front. Due !

I'm holding out hope on Newk. Stuff is there.

I think we pretty much agree, though I may like Wiegel a bit better than you. I think both he and Blair have a shot. I just left them out as I was focusing on my top three starter options and named Sims as someone who I could see having success still as a starter but also he could be a dominate reliever, even a closer IMO. Lastly, it seems we also agree on Jackson so nothing to debate there either. This might be the most we've agreed about multiple prospects in one post, lol.

Yea, not how you want to see him start on defense. Hopefully he can clean that up soon.
