    Braves get Schimpf

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/...-outright.html

    Slowly building that WC roster with other teams' castoffs!

    I'm a little surprised to see them drop Ravin to accommodate though.

    Ravin got squeezed out by Moylan and Gomez.

    Schimpf's strikeout rates the past two years in both AAA and the majors are shocking. I'd be surprised if he beats out Tucker.

    Well, in the past few days some of you have been suggesting that AA had somehow dropped the ball by not having enough depth on the second bench in AAA.

    This is strictly a depth signing. It is likely that unless he has a hot streak that coincides with an injury to an IF, he will never see the MLB field.

    In an emergency, he is in AAA.

    Oh... and it is likely that he cost nothing of any consequence...

    10-15 years ago this would be a perfect guy to have on the bench and have him try to hit a HR in the 8th or 9th inning. With pitching staffs the way they are these days, those guys are too much of a luxury, but at least he can play a bit of 2B so not a terrible guy to have as a backup's backup.

    This is like buying a scratcher that's already been scratched.

    And is expired.

    Well, at least this kid has power. So I can see taking a flyer on him and trying to make him better. If it works you have something, if not nothing lost.

    I never expected Ravin to make the team anyway. I figured AA would try to stash him in AAA a la Cabrera hoping one or both of them can help later at some point.

    Just as an FYI, it doesn't count as witty when you preempt any possible overreactions.

    A terrible first draft of Moby-Dick, nonetheless preserving the motif of a giant white mass and the theme of utter futility.

    When can we expect Schimpf to be traded for Odorizzi?
