    Why would they straight release a high-potential player still making the minimum and still with minor-league options? Makes no sense.

    Yeah I don't think Gohara is gonna be let go, but he's not in a great situation right now.

    Goes through pregame workout
    July 29, 2019
    Swanson (foot) went through pregame exercises on the field Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    ANALYSIS
    Swanson hasn't played since Tuesday due to a bruised foot. He showed no signs of the issue during Monday's workout. Both he and the Braves expect him back when first eligible Saturday.
    Progressing in throwing program
    July 23, 2019
    O'Day (forearm) has progressed to playing long toss but has yet to throw off a mound, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    ANALYSIS
    The Braves haven't yet ruled O'Day out for the remainder of the season, though he's not expected to be back until either late August or September. The right-hander has been on the shelf since the start of the 2019 campaign due to a right forearm injury.
    Is O'Day even real?

    At this point they have to know something that we don't. His body/arm must be in almost irredeemable shape or something like that.

    Could be that or they decided that he will never be able to mentally be what they want him to be

    Recovery not going as planned
    August 11, 2019
    Swanson's recovery from a foot contusion "hasn't really taken the turn for the better like we wanted," said manager Brian Snitker, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    ANALYSIS
    His return is clearly not imminent, and it's possible he is dealing with something slightly worse than a contusion. Swanson should be considered out indefinitely, and in shallower leagues without IL spots it might be time to pivot to a different option. Charlie Culberson and Johan Camargo will continue to share time at shortstop.

    **** me. Is Swanson seriously going to miss the playoffs again? At what point does he get the injury-prone tag.

    Yes, would be nice to know if he is capable of playing SS every day in the majors.

    To serve what purpose exactly? How would you consider aligning the IF to justify that move?

    Ozzie has too long of a throwing motion to play short.

    His arm already isn't that great at 2b, add in how long it takes him to actuall wind and release and it's not as appealing of an idea as it was to me 2 years ago.

    Maybe if we had a backup who was a 2B only type. Just keep Culberson at SS.

    While I agree it's a moot point to do so now, his arm was enough to play shortstop when he was in the minors. Erratic at times, his range was really good and he could go get it. Furcal arm,no way but it was serviceable. In any case, he's where he belongs and has turned himself into a heck of a second baseman.

    Yeah. Culberson's defense at short has been spectacular.

    He is way smoother than Camargo out there. Johan has a gun at short but that doesn't balance our his horrible range. It just helps him get outs on balls that should be more routine.

    I wouldn't strict platoon them at short. But I'd give Charlie most of the starts.

    Yeah but it was the minors.

    I wanted him and Dansby to switch initially. But Ozzie just doesn't have the arm to be a great defensive shortstop. Dansby has good enough range and an above average arm to where he's fine at short.
