Losing he and Sly two days apart was a gut punch of sorts (clearly more serious things to worry about in the world). Growing up in the...

He's fundamentally sound at SS but all I saw was routine plays. It's always hard to tell with the Braves under the Anthopoulos/Snitker...

Like 50 said..he's a gamer and I'll give him that. At SS, I agree with you ZB....his range is meh. He can make basic plays though. But...

Saw him play one game at SS when Gwinnett was in St. Paul last summer. Hard to tell anything from one game. I will say he is extremely...

Dumping Sale who is still an ace at a bargain deal would be stupid when we will need starting pitching lol. Most of his old injuries...

It's traditionally been difficult for a pitcher to be the locker room leader. There are exceptions (I think of a guy like Scherzer)...
