Schimpf Optioned to Gwinnett

[50PoundHead]

Who could have seen this coming? Cool breezes will dominate the weather forecasts in Gwinnett County, especially around the appropriately named Coolray Field.

Riley to Mississippi, I suppose. This may have already been announced though

I'd personally prefer they just cut him loose - not sure what value (other than that prodigious power he provides the one time every couple weeks that he makes solid contact) he holds for the Braves. Colon is a much better option as a utility guy to be tucked away in Gwinnett IMO.

Riley certainly isn't going to benefit much from more time in Mississippi - he needs to see the all the junkballers you can expose him to at the AAA level at this point.

Damn, now we won't have Schimpf to kick around. Why not cut his arse and be totally done with him.

He's a prawn now, but maybe the Braves think he'll develop into a jumbo.

I would DFA Schimpf and outright him to AAA, no one should claim him after his ST and gives us room to add someone to the 40-man.

I would guess a 50-1(50 shrimp to a lb). Why are they taking AB away from Riley keeping Schimpf around. All of the ST Ks and ABs took ABs away from Riley, Ruiz, and Camargo.

I think Riley still has a ton to prove in AA
