    New Fangraphs Top 131 Prospects

    nothing to do with prospect fatigue. more to do with your reading comprehension. trading wentz or touki has nothing to do with ceilings and floors. it's about obtaining value. folty is how old? you think it's unreasonable that touki could take a similar amount to time to gain consistency?

    New Fangraphs Top 131 Prospects

    i'm not sure why when suggesting that touki be available for trade folks assume i'm suggest he be traded for Alex ****ing Jackson or Rick Ankiel or some nonsense like that. I am suggesting that Touki could really demand a nice return and given his inconsistent nature as a pitcher over his young...

    New Fangraphs Top 131 Prospects

    lucas sims is on the braves roster. you've said nothing particularly noteworthy here. anyway, the hype on a prospect barely cracking top 100 lists proves my point that trading him could be a valuable move.

    New Fangraphs Top 131 Prospects

    i absolutely wouldn't give away touki for scraps or rentals, especially when a rental isn't going to be enough. moves like that have quietly crushed the braves for years. rick ankiel should have only been allowed to become a brave if the cardinals paid the braves to take him. instead the...

    the other thing about touki is he could be 28 before he finally gets it. does that timeline fit where the braves hope to be in the next few years?

    New Fangraphs Top 131 Prospects

    i could easily see touki being sent out in a trade. just for the reason you mentioned above. realistically, what do you really expect to get for sims, wisler, fried, etc? touki is exactly the sexy hype guy that still carries around a great ranking without consistent results. these are the...

    Teheran to the DL

    ok, but the braves have plenty of "prospects" as it is. they need players.

    Teheran to the DL

    this season is quickly starting to look a little dicey. we're down to relying on folty and newk for everything. and it's hard to fully accept that both can go the rest of the way as well as they've started. wtf is up with gohara and why isn't he getting regular starts?

    2018: The Year Of The Venezuelan Trout

    how much longer does he bat 2nd? why not let him bat 9th if they go back to that moronic pitcher batting 8th lineup again? it's hard to say he's been anything but terrible this month. why are we sticking with this?

    The opener

    i don't see why this is a good strategy. presumably your starter is good, that's why he's a starter. he should be able to go after the top three hitters to start the game on his own. you can always bring the closer in later in the game to get those top three hitters. all i've seen that...
