Honestly, I'd be ok with calling Newcomb up pretty soon. I feel like the rest that he has to learn he might as well go ahead and start learning at the major league level. I wouldn't expect him to have tons of success right away, but he'll turn 24 next month. Might as well give him a shot and see what he can do.
Ditto for Sims and "maybe" Blair if he can put some starts together. Wisler needs to be traded....needs a reset if he has any chance.
Not sure I see the wisdom or the point in trading Wisler, at this juncture—though it's certainly been bandied about plenty around here.
The shine's off dude in a major way; he's all but worthless to any organization but the Braves, but he does still hold value to them, since they've sunk substantial trade-value and time into him. Meanwhile, it's unlikely any team trades anything but stinkier garbage for Wisler, so the Braves might as well be patient and see if he can ungarbage himself for their roster.

Weigel, Sims and Newcombe need to replace Garcia, Colon and Dickey by the deadline.

Sanchez is another overlooked pitcher that could become a MOR starter.
Been a pretty disappointing start to the season for Fried after all the spring training hype. Hopefully he gets it turned around.
Looks like it was just one bad inning.
