Touki Toussaint doesn't get enough recognition.

I think this young man has a chance to be a very good pitcher for us.

AA at age 20: 7 starts, 39.2 IP, 3.69 FIP, 9.98 K/9, 4.99 BB/9, .276 BABIP, 70.3% LOB.

AA at age 21: 5 starts, 24.1 IP, 3.42 FIP, 12.21 K/9, 4.44 BB/9, .304 BABIP, 61.6% LOB.

Great time to be a Brave.

He's so much projection and because he's not Soroka he will always be about the tools he possesses versus his results. Finally got a look at him other than Rome. Gotta say he had improved so much. Even then his defense was miserable behind him. If it were all about ERA you could write him off bullpen fodder, but I feel he should start until he can't. I like Touki a great deal.
 
Touki's the type of player I could see us trading away as a part of a deal and regret when he goes on to have a great career.
 
The comp I use for Touki is Tom Gordon. Good fastball and a curve so nasty it fools umpires as well as hitters. If he has a career like Gordon I'd be very pleased.
 
Prospect fatigue. He is still very up and down though. One day he is lights out and the next day getting torched.

He could be a stud closer. I’m afraid he will remind us of Viz....who makes me nervous every time he comes in (because you never know what Viz shows up each day).

Think of a pen that has Minter, Touki, and Weigel...it’s coming.

Clouse will be in the atlanta pen
 
It will all boil down to command with him. If he sharpens things up, he has a pretty high ceiling. I like the Gordon comp except Toussaint is a lot bigger physically. Like striker42, I think if he can be a facsimile of Gordon, that would be pretty awesome.

How close is Clouse? If Clouse is close is it possible he could close? If so, we could be close to seeing a closing Clouse.

He needs to keep closeting himself on throwing strikes. If he does that, I see the FO closuring on his closeness soon
