Maybe I'm not following closely enough. How in the world are player lists and organizational lists relevant when we didn't see anyone develop over the last 18 months. The below 7 positional players that aren't expected to compete for jobs in Atlanta in Spring Training (I left Pache and...

"He spent much of his time at alternate camp working on his overall approach, one that has produced a career 26.2 percent strikeout rate and just a seven percent walk rate, and the Braves feel his time facing so many advanced arms last summer will benefit him and allow him to be a more advanced...

Ender is an option right? If so, no way it is picked up. Fried, Soroka and Swanson need contracts as well. Swanson would be playing out his last season in 2022 and Fried and Soroka would be up in 2023.

The laws of supply and demand should not be applied to professional athlete salaries. This is why MLB has had to design revenue sharing and the NFL and NBA have gone to caps. In the real world, a company is limited in capturing the best talent by providing greater salary or...

Chief and Brave are both ranks within a tribe, right? The fact one is more politically correct than another is proof this thing is an absurdity. That said, the Braves could drop the tomahawk and do a marketing campaign this year based upon Atlanta being the "cradle of the Civil Rights...

I realize they are both on one year deals, but the addition of Morton and Smiley would seem to mean the Braves have a surplus of young arms if Soroka is on schedule. When Soroka is back, one of Wright/Anderson will be without a spot in the rotation. Wilson, Muller and Davidson will also be in...

If you knew Soroka was back to start the season you could go retread and hope for the best. Soroka's rehab makes it necessary to start the season with someone you can pair with Fried and Anderson. Retreads won't do for that spot. If Smyley gives us only 100 innings, but gets us to a healthy...

SP: I don't see a big investment being made. Fried and Soroka have proven they can be TOR guys. Anderson's first turn through the league was extremely impressive. Wright showed enough in the last few starts to give him a slot next year. With Wilson and Muller in the wings and sufficient...

Well played.

1. If he's under 65 he's got a better chance of dying of the flu. 2. Masks are traditionally worn by doctors to prevent bacterial infections and are completely ineffective against an airborne virus. 3. Liberals used to champion civil liberties. What the hell happened to them? 4. Pitching to...

For many reasons (Labor dispute, Covid, Cash crunch, internal options, other needs), I don't see the Braves going heavy on SP this offseason. Anderson and Wright have earned a spot next year. Fried is locked in. Soroka has a spot when he returns. I'm thinking a retread to compete with the...

The lack of control is the thing that absolutely shock me about the kids we are developing. Wright has 31 IP and 21 BB. Anderson has 26 IP and 14 BB. Toussaint has 24 IP and 16 BB. Ynoa has 21 IP and 13 BB. Wilson has 12IP and 7 BB. With that said, Fried walked 12 in 26 IP in 2017 and 20 in 33...

2020 is nobody's year... but someone is going to win it. Might as well be us. This team has a window of contention through at least 2024. Acuna, Albies, Fried and Soroka are all under control until then. That is a lot of young talent to have tied up and even more tied up longer if it proves...

Seems to me the next 5 years of this franchise will largely be dependent upon 3 of the following proving they can consistently hold down rotation spots: Soroka, Fried, Anderson and Wright. I'm not completely done with Touki as a starter yet, but its getting close. If at least 3 of those can...

Is the upside to giving Folty a start that hope he shows enough to get something in trade this offseason? I see zero shot he gets a playoff start and next to zero shot he goes through arbitration. In a year where payroll might be tight that would seem to be a huge gamble with $6.5 million.

I really miss having the minors to watch. I went digging and think I understand the following mlb.com top 30 prospects were invited to the Alternate Site. 1. Christain Pache 2. Drew Waters 3. Ian Anderson 4. Shea Langeliers 5. Bryce Wilson 6. Braden Shewmake 7. Kyle Muller 8. William...

You are being too hard on the Boomers. Vets of WWI came back home and rejected the conventional wisdom. The Greatest Generation came back form WWII and rejected the conventional wisdom. The Boomers went to Vietnam and returned to reject the conventional wisdom. For years, X and Y changed the...
