    7/24 GDT: Atlanta Braves (47-50) vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (56-42)

    Atlanta Braves Lineup (47-50):
    Santana CF
    Phillips 2B
    Freeman 3B
    Kemp LF
    Markakis RF
    Flowers C
    Adams 1B
    Camargo SS
    Dickey P

    Arizona Diamondbacks Lineup (56-42):
    Peralta LF
    Pollock CF
    Lamb 3B
    Goldschmidt 1B
    Martinez RF
    Descalso 2B
    Owings SS
    Mathis C
    Greinke P

    So, Santana is inserted to give Inciarte a day off but never Kemp?

    They need Kemp's glove in LF for 9 innings every game.

    Why would you possibly want the guy with the highest qualified OBP on the team hitting lead off?

    It's like golf. You get 1 mulligan per 9 holes. You get 1 mulligan per 9 trades in baseball?

    I guess I'm just giving them too much credit. I would like to think they understand that your young cornerstone should be getting regular ABs and continue developing.

    I guess we're talking about two different things though. I think Swanson is going to be a solid player for a long time. Maybe even a star.

    hitched their wagon?
    what are you even talking about
    Is Swanson done as a major league player in your eyes?

    They were trying to make him out to be the face of the franchise and with a stadium opening people were sucked in. Well really only the sunshine blowers were convinced he was a stud.

    He's being outplayed by a number of his drafted counterparts. He was the first pick in the draft and I realize the Braves didn't draft him, but there are certain expectations that go with being selected first overall.

    Of course. But the Braves didn't pick him. They got him in a trade that has undoubtedly worked out, whether Swanson ends up a solid player or not. He's in his rookie season and is far from the only player to struggle in that season. He has plenty of time to be a very good players and has the tools necessary. People feel he should either be starting every game here, or in Gwinnett. The point is, he needs to be playing, somewhere, every day. I don't understand your reactions when people here say as much.
