    Here's the full quote and yes there's no reason for him to be playing at all...

    "The wet newspaper I’ve been swinging, got it through a couple of times today and made contact... I needed to do it again in the last one and didn’t do it.... I’ve got nothing left, really."

    With Freddie, I'd let him play one more home series for the home fans, and then shut him down after Wednesday's game against Texas.

    No way I'd shut down Freeman with our playoff hopes on the line.

    Why would Snit even be remotely OK with letting him continue to play and get injured?

    He had one of the best years any Braves player has ever had. It was fun to watch.

    Esp when we have a capable 1b on the bench. I blame the FO, not snit though

    That doesn't sound like a guy that needs to be in the lineup right now.

    Need to shift him to third and take some pressure of the wrist having to catch all those throws.

    I know it won't happen but I'd offer him and Swanson 10/100 and pay 10 million every yr. maybe a team option or two at 20 million.

    I think Swanson is going to be at Lewiston a 1.5 war guy and he will earn the 10. Albies I think will get to 10 million in value just with the glove

    I'd have to see Albies do more vs rh before I thought about 3 plus war seasons and top half of the order on a god team

    Same reason, I wish they'd get back to Garcia at 3rd

    I'm a pozzie... but if the Braves trade Albies I'm going to be so pissed. I will definitely be on the side of the FO having no clue what they are doing if that happens. So far, he's easily the best prospect to make the jump so far with Swanson's early struggles (although hopefully he's come out of it)
