    Among the shortstops, Daniel Pierce Lex Lodise and Dean Curley. Lodise seems like he could move quickly, but I don't like his overall game. He fills all the stat columns so he won't dazzle, but he's highly thought of for a reason. Pierce I like, but not sure he'll be there.

    Eh. I'm with you, but I'm the low man on Hack. However, I reserve the right to change that IF he adjusts to pitching backwards. He gets hit hard for someone who has a pretty good arm. He's about the 4th best pitcher in the system for me....but I digress. SS is a position that they should...

    Didier Fuentes Stuff?

    Absolutely he does. I have no clue why he doesn't throw his splitter but it is an absolute fantastic pitch.

    Minor League Thread Part Deux

    The Braves are vehemently against promoting DSL players stateside their first year. Diego may change that, but it's probably not in the cards. That said, he's the first position player in forever to even garner the thought. Kinda backwards the Braves don't push hitters like they do...

    Doesn't even do justice. His exit velo is crazy for a16 year old. I've been told about his camp..I've seen his bat. He had more lift than you know. The ball jumped off his bat. He's up there swinging. Gonna have too tone his aggressiveness down as he moves up but jeez..at 16...he's impressive.

    I've been in on Caminiti, but it's really easy without me having to even give a report on what I've seen (I've already done that), but he's been my one since spring. Even above Ritchie who I hold in high regard. The only guy I haven't raved about is Hackenburg and I'm still there. He's got...

    GDT 6/20/25: Braves @ Marlins - Keep Streakin' for Didi

    While Fuentes verified my faith in him, Waldrep..or someone else could have started. This leadership making decisions...is starting to look like shyt.

    GDT 6/20/25: Braves @ Marlins - Keep Streakin' for Didi

    Hopefully you guys see why he was my pick to be the most successful minor leaguer. That said, I don't care if it's the Marlins or my summer all star team...it's not the way to do it. Waldrep...ass and all would have been a better option ......or any one not name Didier.....Someone went to the...

    GDT 6/20/25: Braves @ Marlins - Keep Streakin' for Didi

    And AJSS still needed seasoning in the minors. 2 years with injuries and learning. FKING assclown. grrr..

    GDT 6/20/25: Braves @ Marlins - Keep Streakin' for Didi

    Also, the splitter is a great pitch. WTF we waiting for in the majors? Fking clown as decision. Fuentes will be ok, this decision.. I'm not happy with. Grrrrr.

    GDT 6/20/25: Braves @ Marlins - Keep Streakin' for Didi

    SMFH...It's why I've been preaching to let him cook in the minors. Look at the freaking history and you'll see, he hasn't even mastered going deeper into games. He's talented, but damn, let him work on pitch situations, splitter, and going further into games. Damn. The talent is there, but...

    Going for the GDT sweep. Strider hosting the Muts 6/19

    Eh. They've had success to an extent. Strider is not the norm though. AJSS still had to progress in the minors before he found "it.". The Coppy boys were yoyo's..etc..etc. I don't think this is about trade value showcasing. They genuinely think he won't face plant. It's exciting for me for...

    Going for the GDT sweep. Strider hosting the Muts 6/19

    Much thanks as always Hula...I'm not a fan of pushing him this fast, and I also hope it's not a showcase. I know I've hyped him, but I think you guys are going to like what you see. If he gets hit around it won't take anything away from him. In an alternate universe, the Braves are just...

    He's been close, but right now, I think contact and line drives have been what they've been working with him on. He makes contact and I think his adjustments and ability to barrel the ball, make contact much more important. Take Perdomo....I don't. know what they're telling him to do, but he's...
