It doesn't matter how much power comes back. He's a huge step up from Allen as is.
Folks really don't seem to understand how low the bar has been at SS. Literally anything is better and will be a big help in 2026.
How much GLP1 is being pumped into the South? To they ship it in by tanker truck?
It's hilarious the "poison" folks will and won't put in their bodies.
It's a small sample, but with the Braves he has a .307 xwOBA (right in line with his career value) and a 3.7% BB rate (way below his career rate). I would expect his walk rate to improve and everything else looks fine.
Even if this is the version of Kim they get for all of 2026 he's so much...
Walt would probably be better than Snit, but everything stupid Snit does was not second guessed by Walt...who is the bench coach...whose job it is to offer strategy help.
I'm hoping AA shoots higher than a manager 1 notch above the negative that Snit is. Snit guides a 100-win team to 95 wins...
Snit continued to play an injured Ozuna when he was terrible to help tank the playoff chances, so it stands to reason they would bench the injured guy now to tank the draft pick chances.
It's funny because folks advocating for trading Albies were actually suggesting the Braves trade him when his value is at an all time low. In fact, most fans calling for a trade are suggesting exactly that...sell low.
If Snit was going to be the manager in 2026 he would have said it, and a contract would be in place. Let Snit sit in the corner pretending to spread wisdom. He's probably great in the Grandpa Snit role.
Then get a modern manager to competently drive this roster.
Regardless of what the injury actually is, this is another data point showing why catchers age so poorly.
Trading a young catcher for an old catcher was not a great idea. Extending the old catcher was another bad idea. Failing to cash out on the old catcher when another young one made him...
You all are probably right. The Braves coaching and medical staffs had no idea, but any other organization on the planet would have caught it immediately.
Nacho has never had any power, nor has he ever had exit velocities that suggest future power is coming. That was always the problem with him as a prospect. He's a low end bench option who can't play SS.
It's hard to imagine Wentz tricking anyone into thinking he was an option for 2026. He's a AAAA arm that should be stashed in AAA as the 8th or 9th SP option.
