Good comp. Paul was another successful major league pitcher who threw around 88 mph on his four seam fastball with an 81 mph change.

That beats a board full of pathological liars like Hillary.

Yeah, you can sell every pitcher before he turns 30, but if you do that, you become the Oakland A's and continuously rebuild.

He has a deep load on his swing that, in the past, has thrown off his sequencing.

Yeah. We need to see what his FICA and WIFI are before we make a decision.

Well, you know, Greg Maddux was a AAAA pitcher as well then.

Rio Ruiz is a triple away from the cycle.

I saw some video of Riley Pint pitching in the rain earlier today. I'm not sure when the game was, but his curve ball was working. It was wicked!

Except McCann is a better leader and will handle the young pitchers much better.

My thoughts on this have not changed. The Braves have a young pitching staff that needs a strong, veteran presence at catcher to lead them. Someone that can call a good game, frame pitches well, and help them develop. That veteran is NOT AJ Pierzinski. I think Brian McCann is ideal for this...

That's a bullspit statement that typically comes from people who have never played.

Bringing Puig into the clubhouse and expecting that his cancerous attitude will not rub off on the young players on this team is like having sex with someone that has herpes and expecting to not get it. Character and make up matters.

Let me put it this way. I would hope my GM is not basing any decisions off a flawed, convoluted statistic where part of it is based off a calculated value on an aspect of that game where you simply cannot calculate the value.

If there is one, then I'll show you a front office that isn't doing their job.

Building around pitching has always been the best way to do it. There will always be an inelastic demand for pitching in baseball, because pitching is by far the most important factor when it comes to winning. It isn't the only factor, but if your pitching is lousy, you aren't winning no...

You obviously don't have a clue what it is like to play the sport.

RE: Matt Wisler.....I'm sure glad the Braves didn't give up on Tom Glavine when he went 0-5 with a 6.30 ERA in August of 1990 or John Smoltz when he was 2-11 with a 5.16 ERA through the first half of the 1991 season. Matt Wisler 1st 235 IP, 4.95 ERA, 6.4 K/9, 3.0 BB/9 Tom Glavine 1st 245 IP...

Billy Beane -- No one has ever gotten so much praise for doing so little.

I guess we should just trade everyone, since there is no guarantee that any player will have a good year. I mean, it is such a damn travesty that we aren't trading Julio, because he might actually become a bad pitcher at some point. Heaven forbid we actually keep a top flight 25 year old...

Man I wish the internet was around back when Atlanta was digging themselves out of the late '80s hole they were in back in 1991. I would imagine that there would have been several comments about how their young pitching had not lived up to the hype and how the team did not have a chance to compete.
