I don't understand why Sims is still being used as a starter if they think he's a reliever in MLB. Give him a chance to get accustomed to the role.

Probably more showcasing him as trade bait. I doubt they think he is a great reliever either.

I don't think so, I think it's just a matter of him being in the rotation of long-men they plan to have go up and down this year.

Wonder if Wes Parsons can carve out any type of big league role. Another strong start for him. I’m not sure what his scouting report is.

[CJ9]

Alex Jackson down to .188 average and .586 OPS. Woof.

Got that one wrong so far

No doubt, the biggest disappointment on the farm so far in 2018. Still has plenty of time to turn it around though. Would be HUGE if he turned out to be a guy

Ten ER in less than a single inning?

He has so much talent. I just don’t get it. Maybe he simply doesn’t put in the work. Riley is a good example...he works his butt off and you can see the results. Jackson has more pure talent. He can still get on a streak I guess.

I liked what I saw out of him defensively in spring training. He's behind the 8 ball defensively because of the shifts in position for his young career. It's possible he's devoting most of hi time learning that and the hope is the hitting will just come naturally

[bravesfanMatt]

Could be pouting. He saw it worked with acuña.
