Around The Majors 2019

Hmm. I wonder why the Dodgers let him go, to their arch rival no less.

Teams will usually not stand in the way of personnel leaving for a major promotion. He went from GM to head of baseball ops.

 

[nsacpi]

Eh, Culberson is better infield depth right now. I'd rather see if Duvall can get back to what he was.

Culberson has had an incredible amount of luck the past two years:

2018 wOBA .335 xwOBA .270
2019 wOBA .432 xwOBA .342

BABIP this year is over .400.

Anyhow I suspect Duvall will end up getting a look. We are one injury away from that happening. Inciarte's return is still quite a ways off based on recent comments by Snit.

The Braves currently have someone in the top 3 at every position in the all-star voting. Also have Acuna and Neck in the top 9 for the outfielders. Going to have lots of voting to do in the final selection if those all hold up.

Albies is running away with the 2nd base voting, and Swanson is running away with the 2nd SS position. Acuna is also running away with a top 3 in the outfield last time I checked.

Yeah. We can vote for a Brave at every position in the final round if this holds.

 

[Carp]

And send down who?

Camargo.

 

[zbhargrove]

Camargo.

Yeah thought you were pretty clear about that when we started this discussion.

Sure, but we're talking about the last spot and he's simply performed better. Give Camargo some AAA at bats to try and get him going and then reevaluate after the break.

Cody Allen released. Flier mayhap?

I’ve been thinking it couldn’t hurt to give him a chance to work things out in Gwinnett, if he’s willing.

Yeah Angels are still paying his salary obviously, so we’d only pay a prorated portion of the ML minimum right? Swarzak got turned around, maybe we can fix Allen too

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Pretty sure he is toast. Declining stuff with declining control. Pass.

Old friend Mike Dunn was also just DFA’d by the Rockies. He’s been pretty good both against LHP and outside of Coors; could be another scrapyard option.

What in the world happened to him? He was really good until last season.

Sherzer broke that massive shnoz bunting in practice. IL for a broke nose?

Nats and Phillies now have two games to make up.
