WEDNESDAY MINORS FINAL 8/29: Double Dip Day

Yup - He is forcing his way into the Braves 2019 plans which is great because I think we are going to see Camargo and/or Ruiz in an extended role to bridge to that point.

He needs to cut down on the strikeouts first and prove he can do it over more than half a season.
 
Acuna's AAA BABIP has dropped 20 points in the last couple weeks, resulting in losing more than 100 points in OPS. His luck is normalizing, and so too is his production.

There is zero reason to rush him next year.

I'm ok with him normalizing now and having a slow spring training.
 
The AFL is the right place for him. Haters need to give props to the front office for the right, patient decision.
 
Evan: Is Max Fried a long term starter for the Braves or has he been shuffled back in the pack because of an awful 2017?
Keith Law: Still think he’s a starter. Too athletic, too good a pitch mix to give up on that.
Keith Law: Bummed he was sent out – they play here next week and I was hoping to go see him.
 
Rick C: Is Ian Anderson hurt, or are the Braves just limiting his innings?
Keith Law: I believe he’s been shut down due to an innings cap. He’s not hurt.

Andy: For a while it looked as if Folty for the Braves had started to figure it out, but has recently fell apart. Do you think he will ever figure it out or is he better off in the bullpen?
Keith Law: Showed way too much as a starter before his last two outings to let those ruin his season. He was league-average on the season before the start at Coors.

Adam: Can Bryse Wilson be added to the list of great Braves pitching prospects or is his ceiling lower than a lot of the other guys in that system?
Keith Law: I think I said last week (?) that he’s ahead of Wentz for me.

Hank: The Braves obviously have a lot of arms in the minor league system, but I’m still nervous about it. I don’t scout these guys, so please give me your thoughts. I just don’t see anyone with front line upside besides Wright and maybe Gohara. Looks like a bunch of mid rotation guys, no?
Keith Law: Anderson and Wilson would be in that group too.
 
I really don't understand the thought process behind "we only have a couple potential TOR arms."

interesting law puts anderson and wilson in there and not allard, though.

I don't know the criteria for what's TOR and not, but I'm still a big believer in allard becoming a very good MLB pitcher
