Lara just called up to MS

JR Ritchie has dominated in Augusta. My guess is he’s bumped up to Rome and Lara is bumped up to MS soon.

We have the 2nd best bullpen in the 7th-9th innings behind Cleveland. This game sucked, but hopefully a blip on the radar.

Interesting stat Since 6/15 Sean Murphy 130 wRC+ Travis d’Arnaud 131 wRC+

Jhancarlos Lara 6 no hot innings with 1 BB and 12 Ks in Rome. He’s pitched great since July

This was a good get by the Marlins. Both are ready to start in the majors.

Darius Vines being DFA’d makes me think he’s already included in another deal. If we plan on Grant Holmes being the #5 or getting spot start duty, then I guess that makes the Jackson inclusion make more sense. With Ynoa coming back we now have 7 AAA starters and Waldrep will make it 8. Vines and...

The inclusion of Jackson is the part that confuses me the most about this odd deal. We have a deep pen with a couple of guys in AAA who can’t get a call up. Maybe this could make one of our other relievers available?

I think Fedde would be the more logical choice for us. He’s signed to a very affordable $7.5M next season.

3 team trade with the Rays where we get Efflin/Randy, the 3rd team gets Iglesias, and Rays get prospects from us and 3rd team. Or we make separate trades, but trading Iglesias could be a creative way to straddle the deadline. The question would be, could we absorb the hit to the pen in...

It won’t happen, but trading Iglesias could free up enough money to fill our needs, and there’s not many late inning arms on the market.

Nacho should be starting at 2B tomorrow in AAA.

I’d assume if the Braves make a trade before the deadline or in the off-season it’s going to include Baldwin. TDA should be brought back for one more year. Then we’ll be watching and waiting on Montgomery.

The only position players we should draft are CF/SS/C. We should not be drafting 1B/3B or Corner OF types. We’re stocked with teenagers at SS/CF and they’re going to need at bats if you want to see them mature. You don’t write them off at 19 to draft a 21 year old with a lower ceiling unless...

It’s been discussed many times that the drafts will focus on pitching due to the high attrition rate and the fact we’re set at the major league level. We have 4 SS and 3 CF in the system we’re going to give playing time to in the lower levels. Drafting Corner OF or Corner IF doesn’t make sense.

Brecht seems like the obvious pick, but Walker Janek could make sense

All Nacho would have to do is get on base hitting in the 9 hole and that’s his best offensive quality. As long as his defense is better than average he’ll be an upgrade.

Either way, I feel much better now.

Acuna can sit out all spring. Let white, Wall, and Martinez all battle it out with as many at bats as they can get

If we’re playing Kelenik every day, there’s a good chance he’s our #9 this year. Harris can fit well in between the righties in the 5-7 range
