Happy Soroka day. Does anything else matter at this point.

[WaitingFor2017]

Expecting a huge game from Albers today.

[bravesfanMatt]

Expecting a huge game from Albers today.

For what team though.

[SJ24]

Albies and Acuña lead off for Gwinnett at 1.

[SJ24]

Ronald is in center.

[rico43]

Looking more like Wentz-day.

[thethe]

Wentz doing Wentz things so far today.

[striker42]

Wentz is so good. Best pitching prospect we have under AA.

[SJ24]

Ozzie broke up a no-hitter in the 6th with a bunt.

[msstate7]

Swanson 1-3

[blueagleace1]

After getting to see Albies for three games (yes I know it's a SSS) and Swanson for most of the year, it's my opinion (take it for what it's worth) that Albies is/would be the superior defender at SS. I think switching them whilst at AAA would be a good thing. To me, their arms are similar -we'll call it even- but Ozzie gets better reads, has more range and has softer hands. Again, just my opinion and no matter who ends up where, our future MIF will be in good hands for the foreseeable future because you can't go wrong with either at either position.

P.S- Peterson's defense in LF is very underrated. Only got to see him the first game as he DH'ed the second game and didn't play the third game but I was VERY impressed. I'm not saying he's Jason Heyward / Ender Inciarte gold glove type defender but to me, he deserves a little more credit for making a nice transition from third to the outfield.

I'm very pro Peterson

Klaw has said he thinks Peterson is 1-2 war guy

The way freeman is doing at third I'm thinking about moving kemp to first and put Peterson in left. Turn with 169 days left put acuna in for neck

I see and like the logic but that makes us awful right-handed don't ya think? Or am I making something out of nothing and it's no big deal?

[bravesfanMatt]

I hate when our top guys get shelled. I always think the worst.

[Russ2dollas]

It does. Ender and ff only lh. Albies is switch. Still have neck.

Not sure if it matters

It's not a big deal.

[clvclv]

Would still have Markakis, Adams, and Camargo as lefties off the bench when Acuna's promoted - not a big deal.

This actually would be the perfect time for the NL to finally adopt the DH - from our prospective at least. Sign Moustakas to play 3B, move Freddie back, let Adams and Kemp split the DH and LF duties until one can be traded or Peterson takes over in LF. Snit could then have his precious alternating sides with Ender, Albies, Freddie, Kemp, Moustakas, Flowers, Adams, Markakis, Swanson/Camargo.

I mentioned the Albies/Swanson comparison a lot last year especially Albies. His range is excellent and I've always maintained that Albies until Acuña's ascent barreled more baseball's than any of our young position players. If more people see him here they would be surprised.

[thethe]

Guess Wentz being considered one of the best pitching prospects in baseball is not that ridiculous after all.
