    Culberson has had an incredible amount of luck the past two years:

    2018 wOBA .335 xwOBA .270
    2019 wOBA .432 xwOBA .342

    BABIP this year is over .400.

    Anyhow I suspect Duvall will end up getting a look. We are one injury away from that happening. Inciarte's return is still quite a ways off based on recent comments by Snit.

    The Braves currently have someone in the top 3 at every position in the all-star voting. Also have Acuna and Neck in the top 9 for the outfielders. Going to have lots of voting to do in the final selection if those all hold up.

    Albies is running away with the 2nd base voting, and Swanson is running away with the 2nd SS position. Acuna is also running away with a top 3 in the outfield last time I checked.

    Yeah. We can vote for a Brave at every position in the final round if this holds.

    Sure, but we're talking about the last spot and he's simply performed better. Give Camargo some AAA at bats to try and get him going and then reevaluate after the break.

    I’ve been thinking it couldn’t hurt to give him a chance to work things out in Gwinnett, if he’s willing.

    Yeah Angels are still paying his salary obviously, so we’d only pay a prorated portion of the ML minimum right? Swarzak got turned around, maybe we can fix Allen too

    Old friend Mike Dunn was also just DFA’d by the Rockies. He’s been pretty good both against LHP and outside of Coors; could be another scrapyard option.
