I like that they have been promoted, but I hope they stay there for bit (especially Albies).. I don't want them to be rushed

Lol the 7 exclamation marks made me thinking upstairs said f it and went ahead and called them up.

I hope they spend the yr in minors. Maybe come up for roster expansion if that does not impact control

6 sir, he wasn't quite that excited.

This is better than firing Fredi, which would by itself do nothing.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Holy crap. This is really fast. I thought they'd take their time. Albies does nothing but hit, so I get it.

 

[yeezus]

Bowman mentioned the FO wanting them both up in the 2nd half of the year.

good god, please no.. we =don't need to win a bunch of meaningless games to drop to the #3 pick again. Johns.. please just embrace the suckiness and the true fans will stay with you.. the casual fan will come back...trust me..

So unnecessary

You do realize calling them up in th second half has little to no impact on their service time. 2017 will still be their first year of service time.

Sure, if you think the Braves should have Albies and Swanson up on opening day next year, which I don't think they should do.

That's what I thought.

Lol how old is Swanson and he just made double a ball.

Short-sighted to me, but the last time I checked, none of my paychecks were issued from the Atlanta Braves.

Is there any point to watching the Mudcats now with Swanson gone? Seems like we don't have a lot of talent there right now.

Told a couple cousins of mine that live in the area that they needed to make plans to go early three weeks ago since he wouldn't be there long. Think they both missed their chances.

Still I hope they don't see ATL until next season. I think about 2005 when Frenchy, Mac, Kelly, and Joey Devine were called up. The argument could be made that they were called up too soon. The only one that it didn't stunt their growth as players was Mac in my opinion.

Davidson and Povhe are probably the only ones worth paying attention to.

This is all just complete conjecture, though.

I mean, holy cow, Kelly Johnson had a full season in A, a full season in A+, basically two full seasons in AA, then 44 games in AAA. He was 23. If we're saying he was rushed, then good grief.
