    I stopped listening basically because the Biscuits broadcast is the only one I got.. man he is f'ing annoying. But I could tell early on he was not sharp.. just couldn't put guys away. Not getting swing and misses or looking strikes. I thought he would wiggle through a tough 5 innings, but never made it.

    Touki is so weird.. he literally is 75% unhittable and 25% bonehead.. He can be so bad sometimes you want to give up on him, but just can't because of his stuff. He is literally like that girlfriend you can't stand but don't dump because the she is a freak in the sack.. And no Enscheff that doesn't mean she is crazy in a bag.. you will get it one day, I promise..

    Touki sounds like Jose Ramirez.

    Well... he at least is still just 20. He has plenty of time to figure things out.

    This.. just he goes missing for a few hitters and the next thing you know, he has given up 3 runs on 2 hits..

    Touki is just sandbagging with Newcombe and Blair to protect the braves from calling them up before they are controlled through 30

    Keep everyone in the minors till 25 so you don't have to worry about fa

    I have little confidence that Touki, Wisler, Wentz, or Newcomb will amount to much (beyond relief help).

    I have some hope for Blair & Sims

    I have high expectations for Allard, Soroka, Anderson

    We shall see

    Just curious why Wentz is listed among the others.

    Newcomb is following in folties footsteps. But you might have said the same thing about him too.

    Highly doubtful. Sounds like he's getting more comfortable back at his native position. Tied for the lead for homers in all of the minors. This trade has a chance to be an absolute steal

    nope, you are heading to the mets board. We really liked you and thought you have a great future posting but Love_Thor just has better sabermeteric skills and we need another one of those posting over here.

    Wisler, Blair and Sims will be AAAA swingmen.

    Allard has 2/3 potential.

    Soroka and Anderson will be useful 4/5 starters.

    Touki, Newcomb and Wentz will be BP of varying impact.

    I've been saying this for awhile.... there's no reason to rush to judgment with Sims. Let him start the entire year at AAA and lets see where he's at.

    I know he's a ways away, but Anderson has been pretty dominant, aside from just the basic 'all pitching prospects have risk' I don't see why you think he's a 4/5 type.

    Newcomb isn't going to be a bullpen guy, some team is going to let him start. Honestly with his build, high-end stuff and ability to strike people out - I don't think its tough to see him at least becoming a back-end inconsistent type starter. But I'd be very surprised by a move to the pen with him. He'll start somewhere, the biggest question with Nuke is how close to his ceiling does he get.

    you need to read the author before you waste too much time typing. Smoot with a more appropriate response.
