    Much more worried about his performance overall - couldn't care less about whether his pouting will make it worse. He had what was arguably the best three month stretch of his career during the first half last year and still turned back into the pumpkin that he's become down the stretch while playing all 162 games.

    Does anyone really think his mood and performance are going to be that much better when he's not being sent up there for 3-4 ABs every night???

    I looked but didn't see any. I did see where the braves and the developers of the apartments there sold them off for a cool 150 million.

    I doubt it's going to affected at all. He saw the market for his services after one of his best years. And he's always been an team first guy.

    And he's probably smart enough to realize that being given an extra day off 2-3 times a month will actually help him over the course of the season.

    #Braves' Gohara was well over 300 pounds when he reported to spring training a year ago. He's close to 270 now.

    #Braves haven't said it'll happen, but I expect either Touki Toussaint or Max Fried will be in the bullpen in a multi-innings role that could end up being very significant.

    Luiz Gohara could also be a candidate for such a role.

    I'd rather see Touki or Luiz in the rotation over Julio.

    Makes one wonder all the more about the decision to keep Freeman when they're pinching pennies.
    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?

    Could make some sense to use one of them as an Opener on Julio's "start" days if they're going to be in the pen anyway.

    Apply it all directly to the debt so AA will be working with a 2020 payroll of $200 million.

    Must be the plan.

    It is not guaranteed so we can basically cut him during spring and owe him hardly any money

    I think we're going to have to put 2 young guys in the pen. We have 1 rotation spot and 5 AAA spots that have to go to 8 pitchers. I think Weigel or Wilson may go to major league pen as well unless we make them a AAA late inning guy.

    Touki
    Fried
    Soroka
    Gohara
    Wright
    Wilson
    Allard
    Weigel

    No restrictions on #Braves' Soroka, who missed much of season with shoulder inflammation. He's done a regular offseason throwing program and no issues in early side sessions in camp.

    Hoping for a big year out of him. Also hoping that the decide to keep Gohara as a starter where he has the most value. If he can prove to have a good spring and/or first half, then he becomes a more valuable trade piece (talking about Gohara)...

    they have to keep trying him at SP. and if he's as good as i think he can be, i don't really want to deal him. easy to forget how good he was in 2017 at the majors.

    I still expect him to begin the season in AAA to manage his workload.
