I'm too lazy to check the who the posters were that thought that might have been in the realm of possibility.
In fairness to clvclv, the Rays didn't get anywhere near value for Odorizzi. I realize the Rays couldn't (or didn't want to) pay Adams $5 million (or thereabouts) per year, but he's more than Jermaine Palacios (whom the Rays inexplicably put in AA where he's cruising along with a .489 OPS). Braves got stuck with Adams similarly to the Kelly Johnson situation an eon ago. Who will trade for a guy everyone knows will be non-tendered.

Wright makes me a sad panda. Did I ever mention how much I hate college starting pitching.

posi brave in me hopes Wright is intentionally pitching for development and not overall results and that's the issue here. It's not like he has been in the organization for years. Or he is just a bum. One of the two.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Zimmerman has to move to High A soon. There’s nothing left for him to prove in Rome, and we aren’t learning if he’s actually anything of a prospect by watching a 23-year-old carve up a bunch of 18-year-olds.

Zimmerman needs to be in High A. He's 23 and Low A is definitely not a challenge.

The thing with Wright is that we have all seen the knockout pitches from Twitter. So what’s holding him back?

There seems to be a long list of highly regarded Vandy pitchers who have not panned out. Sonny Gray the exception?
Keeping Zimmerman in Rome is getting silly, but I don't see an easy fix. Who do you move from Florida's rotation to make room? The simplest fix I can see is to replace Franco in Mississippi with one of the Florida guys, to make room for Zimmerman in Florida.
The entire farm is just loaded with SPs that are either excelling or can't be given up on yet. So much pitching.
Go get him!
