GDT: March 28 ATLANTA vs HOUSTON, 6:05

The thing that creeps me out is were deciding which TWO of Bourn, Bonifacio and Francoeur we're going to keep.

We on this board are more or less the Braves' version of the three hapless fans in the bleachers in Cleveland in Major League. We ought to consider bringing back Chief Nocahoma for this season. Seriously.

Ehh. Wisler looks like he is hitting the next level. Finished strong last year and has looked fantastic in Spring. Norris should be a serviceable 3rd starter and Chacin will be solid if unspectacular. Not that bad

I actually like Chacin and Wisler. Basically I feel like bitching 'cause there are major elements of this team that are...suckulent.

I have my doubts about Norris getting back to his former levels of success and while I agree with you on Chacin it seems the Braves brass doesn't as it's sounding like Wandy part 2 with him. IOW, they are talking like he won't even be in the opening day rotation.

Starting pitching in the upper minors will be strong. Some of that will seep into the major league rotation over the course of the season.

not sure, but yesterday, every fast ball was straight. Not sure if he was working on something.. but I didn't see his 2 seamer. Up and straight is going to get hit. He also looks thinner. I didn't watch much of the game because of an obligation I had.. but the parts I did see, he looked straight and middle up. I feel like he was probably working on something and got shelled because of it. I have a feeling they already told him he would start in AAA this year. He needs to.

I haven't gotten that vibe... I think Chacin will easily make the opening day rotation.

I think there is a chance he will be kept off the roster for a week so we can carry an extra reliever. But yes, it looks to me he will be part of the rotation.
 
Since it's such a slow afternoon I caught myself wondering whether Folty's outing landed Gant at least a start or two. Whatever he was working on yesterday obviously needs more than one AAA start worth of work.

I think so too.

AAA will be Gant/Folty/Blair/Banuelos/Jenkins with Weber also available

AA will be Newcomb/Sims/Ellis/Bird/Janas with Thurman and Barker also available to start
