100% agree. I would take this one step more and plan on a Kemp / Markakis platoon in LF next year. Sign a cheap place holder for RF until Acuna is ready.

Acuna is ready. I just hope we don't start his clock that early.

I think it's a forgone conclusion that Acuna is coming up the moment Kemp or Markakis get hurt in 2018.

[WaitingFor2017]

LOL... Bring on hobbled Markakis in a lost game...... not to replace hobbled Kemp... but to replace CAMARGO.... a young kid.

Swanson 2-4, 2b

Bc of this, I'm cool with today. Hopefully he takes off

[TheBravos]

Oh...btw...Karol sucks

[TheBravos]

So, since the All Star break , we are 6-7 against really tough teams. I'm ok with that. Much improved team from last year.

[Southcack77]

Just me, but I'd be pulling out my rolodex for the organization that really likes AAA reclamation projects and try and sell them Blair and Wisler for something that might be useful someday.

A utility man, a fourth OF, a reliever who is a bit of a mess, some guy in A ball you could dream on.

Recycle best as you can.

Yeah...they have run their course.

[NinersSBChamps]

Blair is the worst Braves pitcher since . . .

Ever.

[The Chosen One]

Stan Belinda was pretty horrible for us. Seemed like every outing he was getting knocked around. Bartolo actually had a few good starts for us.

[Hulavol]

Jo Jo Reyes... Frank LaCorte.... Kyle Davies ... anyone top that?

I doubt it...

[Hulavol]

BTW- TINO- Glad to see you back my man!!
Try to stick around- we have a local troll, but otherwise SAV is running a great board- I never post much, but the banter is good. Glad you are alive and around-

Bowman suggests that Sims is expected to start against the Dodgers next Tuesday.

Tough team to start out with

Better to see what Sims has the rest of the season than ever have to watch Wisler/Blair start another game again.

Agreed. I think it is pretty obvious that both of those pitchers are not in our future plans. They are trade throw ins or organisational fillers for the time being.

Wisler has more potential I think. Hopefully he can find a way to put some quality innings together.
