    1.5 out of 1st is nothing. I think we sign Kimbrel in less than a month and make a move for another starter before the deadline. We’ll be in the hunt all season imo.

    It becomes more and more clear by the day that Markakis belongs in the leadoff slot. Perhaps if Riley hits well for a while Snit will feel comfortable batting him 5th.

    It seems to me Riley has really changed his approach, but gosh he is Glaus size and I did not know that, he almost weigh as much as Gattis when he came up and doesn't look it, pure athlete is what I see. They will adjust to him and he needs to readjust, but yes if he continues to hit and do the re-adjustments, I can see someone will be in for defense only in the late innings.

    I don't want to say anything bad about any of our players that played decently to good for us over the years.

    This is AA, ain't happening with Kimbrel until after the deadline but I don't think will take a paycut that he should take because he is not going to get what he wants or he would be signed now, even Boston.

    One thing that has impressed me with Riley thus far is how mature his approach looks to have become. He doesn't look like he's trying to hit every pitch out of the stadium. He looks like he's got a plan up there and may have developed his hit tool quite a bit more than I expected. He's just so massive and strong that a good number of those hits are gonna clear the wall. He's definitely more athletic, and limber than I expected.

    Agreed. My biggest take from him is that he looks slimmer and more athletic than I remember

    Not sure if it's what I would do, but starting to feel like we will sign Kimbrel after the draft and then make a real effort to trade for Madbum to replace on of Teheran/Folty (I'd imagine Folty to the IL eventually as Teheran is pitching really well the first 2 times through the lineup). The early data on Madbum seems promising with velocity back up a bit. He's not an ace but he'd be perfect for what we need if he's not too expensive and that's the wild card - price. Kimbrel and Madbum would make us pretty scary given everything else stays remotely similar. I don't see Riley going back down if he stays productive, so I wonder what happens to Inciarte.

    He’s gotten some bad strike calls as well.

    Defensive replacement.

    Riley is really huge and athletic (240 lbs). I did not know that, but they are going to adjust to him and like I said he has to counter, like Wonder Twin Dansby has, not thinking but reacting to pitches and pitching.

    What do we do in 10 days if Riley is still producing. Seems like the two choices would be Johan down or Joyce cut/traded.

    I’m thinking that Joyce is the odd man out. Johan can cover the corner Of spots if needed. Inciarte takes over as the back up outfielder with the occasional start or late inning defensive upgrade/pinch runner.

    We looked good the past few games with the exception of the first game in the cardinals series...imagine if Donaldson and Acuña go on a hot streak.

    Also it really helps that Soroka and Fried are pitching great. Teheran is doing okay as well.

    these kinds of things tend to sort themselves out

    Not that I would expect much from trading Inciarte with his value as is, but I just can't see the Braves keeping Inciarte around only for a defensive replacement.
