Perception is reality.

Good call.

Allen should be the starter until someone real is acquired.

It’s time for Snitker to go. Period.

Want to see a few more months like this from Tavarez, but some real offensive development from him would be huge. Braves need some impact hitting prospects, especially on the infield, and especially at SS.
