Ho hum - Acuna HR.

I agree man.

Meh, I really don't get the angst over this one, they want to challenge him against high level hitters while also keeping his innings down. They've already said they he will go back to starting next year.

The Braves also have no business beating the Dodgers, baseball is strange.

Decent chance we are all making a mountain out of a molehill here.

yes, amen.

I don't anticipate anyone living up to standards like that. No remotely worried right now. Too many scouts and people that have seen him swing the bat have had really high praise for me to worry about 50 PAs in Danville. He was likely never staying at short anyway and the speed was never a big...

that's what I figured, which makes it a little weird right? Just about all the big names have signed and we already inked a bunch of kids. interested to see where this money goes.

My question is we just traded for $1.25 million -- that's for this cycle right? Can any of it roll over into next year? I really don't know how this works.

Its like they have a kid running this stuff, everything seems impatient and rushed.

yup, I saw your other reply after I had posted.

I think thats mostly because they shut him down for a little while and he was just coming back. Even if you think its reasonable that the pen is the likely future hasn't he shown enough flashes as a starter to continue down that road for a little longer, especially since it really doens't...

Wow, thats a big chunk of money -- considering what the big money guys get on the open market, Ventura was obviously valued pretty highly. Anybody know when that money needs to be spent by? Can any of it rollover to future periods? If not gotta imagine we will trade some of it.

I still don't understand why you do this when he's been struggling.

I don't think its been obvious at all that Fried's future was in the pen, he was great starting down the stretch last year, so he struggles in the first half of this season and his future is a reliever? I don't buy that. I'm hoping they want to get him some innings ML experience (for reasons I...

is the plan to get him some ML innings/experience out of the bullpen and get him starting again next year? I really don't like how they are handling these guys.

FO must be patient with Newk. I like what I've seen.

Gotta find a solution at 3rd. I don't think there's anything internal there to solve that issue for a few years.

I think that's overboard, they clearly IMO aren't incompetent, but they have strengths and weaknesses. They have done really well in the draft, international signings, and have nailed several trades. They've missed on a couple big trades and don't seem to maximize service time. I look at...
