Have to think if we traded him it would be followed by another big trade. Our pitchers have held their own...I'd rather just keep the guys we have, if a trade means it will be followed with us over paying for someone instead of just promoting Sims, Medlen or Wisler.

Braves still seem to be chasing a starter. I hope not. At least so far they seem to be only willing to pay a decent return like the q trade.
The pitchers are still likely a year away. I don't know if the braves will be patient enough
Dr Andrews writes about ucl not being at top strength until 24-25. If we really consider allard soroka Wright for the rotation next yr we might need a six man rotation to keep the innings down. Too young to do a full season of innings much less playoffs (a guy can dream)

Last night was my first time seeing Sims. He looked great from the beginning. I can see why some think he's suited to be a reliever, as he threw his best pitches when he got a little aggravated at the ump or fell behind the count. I was 4 rows up from home plate and he threw some filthy curves.

His last few have been excellent. I'd like to see about three more before claiming that he's fixed. Never left his corner either, so I'm hoping!
It's exciting to think about what the 2018 rotation will look like in July.

Not a good look for our young slugger. Hopefully it was a male singer
Good Ks and BBs. All pet of the progression.

He had a rough start but settled a bit as the game went on...

IMHO, he's not top 10 at all. He's improved and looks better, but I've been on him since Rome. A lot of improvement between the ears has helped. Always liked his stuff, never liked his demeanor. I've seem him maintain a little more focus and determination which he's even stated was a need for improvement. I think he's back in the discussion, but not top 10.

Which is outstanding. I've never worried about his "stuff."

Home runs per fly ball (and here I'm not talking about fly ball %) is one of those things a pitcher has some control over. Certainly more than control over BABIP. But not a lot of control like strikeout and walk rates. So it occupies an intermediate place in my assessment of a pitcher. Home runs per fly ball is something that does regress significantly to the mean if it is unusually high or unusually low. So I'm not too worried that Sims has had a high home runs per fly ball rate in AAA. He will give up his share. But if he limits the walks and is striking out a lot of hitters, he's got a good chance to be effective at the major league level.
