    Fried - appetite for extension?

    So far guys either extend early or they do not. Fried had not extended early so I do not think he will. He’s so close to free agency now he probably should not. Braves need to hope strider is really a TOR and hope wright is a 2/3. They have several 4/5 options. I think you look for that 3...

    FG Top 30 Braves Prospects

    Agree it is bad, especially for hitters. But it is exacerbated by Harris and Grissom losing prospect status at 21. I'd like us to pick a bunch of position guys but the braves seem focused on college arms early.

    GDT: 4/19 Braves @ Padres: Get Away Day

    Frustrating loss but that is baseball. I'd have taken 2/3 any day if offered before the series. Good to see Morton (I know he had some good defense behind him) do well vs a good line up. Pitchers did well. I do not like that we are punting LF and DH. I am hopeful with Harris back that we...

    MLB Testing New Rules in Atlantic League

    I like the new rules in place now. Except for the ghost runner. I get resistance to change. I like the new rules we have now because I saw the point. Faster game time, faster game pace, more athleticism needed and shown, more exciting, more scoring. I do not understand what these rules are...

    GDT: 4/18 Braves @ Padres: Strider after getting chewed out

    https://twitter.com/FoolishBB/status/1648329530585563138?s=20 LF is a problem.... Mets have a prospect to fix C and 3B.

    4/10 GDT: Reds game 1

    I disagree. I think it is still SSS theatre on him. He did not have a lot of seasoning in the minors and skipped AAA. I also think the Braves are looking at things like his contact quality and seeing how that is vs just box score results. He flamed out late in the year, maybe he needs more...

    Let's talk roster

    ozuna has to go. His roster spot is killing us. That is the only change I'd make.

    Arcia Extended

    Arcia signed the deal Arcia doesn’t sign that if he thinks he’s a starting ss, or starting anything. Looks like Braves and Arcia don’t think he’s a long term starter

    I don't think any roster decisions are about Bally. That happened after they had made these decisions. if anything they are probably going to pay more money because they are going to put Adrianza and Chavez on the roster and guarantee their salaries. If the Bally thing changed money we'll...

    A ways to go. We all want him to do well. I am just hoping that after the all star break he is able to find a role. Maybe it's spot starter. Maybe he could be a stud pen guy in the playoffs. Pen option that goes through the lineup once.

    This could be as simple as AA loves his depth. This is his way to keep everyone. He thinks once the rosters are set then he’s more likely to keep adrianza and his ilk.

    I think this might be it. I'm not as sold on the line up being great outside of SS. LF and DH worry me. In theory that should be the easiest places to fix on a roster, but we seem to have the curse of Ron Gant on us in LF. But if the team feels like they get avg production from LF and DH and...

    Spring Training Thread

    Far from now, but I think it's more likely than not we won't want him back at 20 million. And I think he's not playing for less than 20 million. I doubt AA is going to put money into a FA pitcher, more than a year or two. More likely to me that we hope that a couple of Dodd, Shuster, Soroka...

    I don't want Shewmake on the team. He's not going to play. I don't think he can hit. I'd like him to play everyday in AAA and see if he can hit. If we need him, we can call him up in a couple of hours. I'd rather prioritize bats on the bench because I expect Ozuna to suck and for us to need...

    As I recall Shewmake was an odd case. He was drafted as a guy who people thought was unlikely to stay at SS, had a great hit tool but had questions about power. Then he came into pro ball and tweaked swing to get to more power. Then he never hit. While he was not hitting, he started to prove...

    ST 3/2 at Mets - Kolby on mound, Grissom and Ozuna and minor leagues- on TV

    I haven’t seen any games so not sure if he’s hitting the ball hard and if he’s facing real major league players. Defense must be solid so far as no big threads on it. Hitting would be great. And for me hitting could be much less than we’ve had. He could struggle like Riley early. He could...

    ST 3/2 at Mets - Kolby on mound, Grissom and Ozuna and minor leagues- on TV

    This seems the right take. We all just have to remember his 90 percent positive outcome is a good 5 starter. We expect him to 4-6 innings and give up 2-3 runs. He should never go through a line up 3 times. If you need to win the game he should only go through the line up once. At least based on...

    Game three - Ian’s new slider and Grissy batting 2nd.

    I need a full breakdown. Only hit I saw in first game was a looping shot to CF. Want to know what that EV is. Also want a break down of every defensive play. I 've seen nothing on his defense so I assume he looks ok making routine plays so far?
