How are we this bad? One run in the last 3 games? Seriously?

The thing is it didn't even have to be an ace. Just an innings eating number 4 starter type would be huge right now.

He won't be paid during his suspension but that's about all the relief we'll get.

Our luck has been abysmal. I was hoping all the bad luck was spent last season but apparently we're still paying back the luck we needed to win the World Series.

The last two games were basically coin flips and the first game was Hector Neris (aka the guy who shouldn't be on any competently built roster) blowing up. So this series is unfortunate but not indicative (unless we keep Neris on our roster, if we keep him everyone should be fired, he's garbage).

I knew we were gonna lose the second they brought Neris in. I used to love seeing him come in for the Phillies, I knew we'd be rallying. Dude's a bum. A few good spring innings don't change who a guy is.

Which just goes to show you how difficult it often is to grade prospects and how terrible a lot of the lists are. Once he got to the majors and we got data on his pitches it was clear he didn't have good enough stuff to warrant that high ranking. If we ever get statcast in every minor league...

The bandwagon I've been driving is getting pretty full.

Anderson was always overrated due to his draft position. People think about the MLB draft like the NFL and they're not remotely the same. Being third overall in baseball doesn't mean a whole lot. The MLB draft is way more of a crapshoot. Anderson's only real contribution was in our WS run. He...

Yeah, there's nothing not to like about this move. There's zero risk. If he's terrible at AAA you cut him and move on. Also, relievers are unstable commodities and sometimes will randomly put things together so it's not out of the realm of possibility that Kimbrel could do it. We know Kimbrel...

Minor league deal. Certainly interesting.

He'll be on the board and we'll draft a long snapper or something.

Dude was a 4 WAR pitcher at 21. He was absolutely an emerging stud and it's such Braves luck his Achilles did what it did.

Anderson's GB% in the minors last year was 51.9%. That's pretty consistent with his career which tends to land between 45% and 55%. He's never been a groundball machine. Anderson needs to K north of 8 per 9 and walk south of 4 per 9. I'm not sure he's capable of either.

That's like deciding if I want to get poked in the right eye or left

It's not unusual to have a guy bat high up in ST that makes no sense. It's a way to steal them an extra live AB.

I still think someone in the organization messed with Waldrep. There's no way we didn't have data on his stuff and we don't draft him with the data we're seeing. There's also no way literally everyone was so wrong about his splitter. It makes more sense that someone tweaked his delivery or...

Any team that would trade for Anderson should fire their GM immediately. Guys of Anderson's quality are literally always available as waiver claims, free agents, or available for cash considerations.

This. Anderson has basically negative value at this point. He never had good stuff and the stuff he once had has eroded. He needs to stop being talked about as a legitimate option. He's minor league filler at this point, nothing more.
